Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.
I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.
If I can avoid doing stunts, I will. I don't want to die just for a movie. It's not worth it.
I'd rather be thought as an international actress rather than a French one. Because I don't know what's coming up for me, my ambition is not to be typecast. So I'm working on my English accent, as well as my American one. I don't want to be like 'Okay, I'm French, and I want to succeed in Hollywood!'
I didn't want to do 'Casino Royale' when they told me to audition. I said no. Then they sent me the script, and I thought it was actually very interesting - and I had no other work at the time.
I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body.
My father is a dentist. He has nothing to do with acting. He is proud of me. I come from a bourgeois family, like the family in The Dreamers.
I feel like I'm 1,000. I don't feel I'm young enough a lot of the time.
There are a lot of people who want to be famous, singers, actors, nowadays and, you know, it's like a roller-coaster. And when you are very sensitive-I'm very sensitive-you have to be very strong, you know, you have to just not pay attention to the people who hate you, you know?
They really fall in love. She has a big impact on his life and he will later become the Bond that we all know because of that one relationship.
I love the musicality of English. French sounds flat. In English, you can play with pitch.
Hollywood wouldn't suit me. In L.A. it's all about work - studio people have their five minutes with you and they go, 'Oh mah Gahd, I love your movie.' You just feel very self-conscious there.
If you're weird, it's good to be weird.
When I'm not working I just like to be comfortable: I love black, nothing tight, no heels, no make-up - it's nice to be able to breathe!
