character thinking sparks
There's a kind of chemical spark that comes sometimes with the character, that you don't even have to think about how she is reacting, you just let yourself go. You just let the character take you, instead of taking the character.
art reality thinking
As an actress, I think I really understand that stage where you think you are picking reality in order to feed the fiction, but it happens to be the contrary. It's the fiction that suddenly feeds your reality. And you don't know how it has been done. That's the kind of magical transposition that is art.
coffee thinking magazines
I don't act to be popular, or see my face on the cover of magazines every time I go out to get coffee. I don't want to think about me all the time, and what I look like.
swimming thinking kind
When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for Swimming Pool was kind of a burden. Like, OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo, and I was having problems coping with that image.
bit box came french funny great office people remember talked upset
It's funny because I remember when I came to the U.S. with 'Swimming Pool,' the movie did well, and it was great box office for a French movie, but I remember I was a bit upset because all people talked to me about was the nudity.
act cover face magazines popular time
I don't act to be popular or see my face on the cover of magazines every time I go out to get coffee. I don't want to think about me all the time and what I look like.
filmmakers industry italy machine martin mostly movies others smaller wonderful
Hollywood is a wonderful machine for making big movies. In France, we make smaller and more personal films, but if things keep changing, this will disappear. The industry in Italy is practically gone. Cinecitta now is used mostly by filmmakers from others places, like Martin Scorsese.
director rather
To me, the director is the most important, rather than the story.
explain people
It's impossible to explain to people who you are in a five-minute interview on TV.
base character furthest love share
You know, the character of Isabelle in 'Love Crime' is the only character I feel the furthest from. I have nothing to share with her, so it was really difficult. Being an actor of composition is something, but you always base yourself on something you know about.
gathered good perform trailers willing
I would like to perform more in English. But there have to be many good things gathered for me to be willing to do a movie. I watch trailers of every new American movie and I'm, like, 'OK, I'm not missing anything!'
directors great looking opportunity variety work
What I'm looking for is the variety of choices and the opportunity to work with great directors - that's what I'm looking for.
coping known thinks
When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for 'Swimming Pool' was kind of a burden. Like, 'OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo,' and I was having problems coping with that image.
written
'Swimming Pool' was a very important moment for me because the character was written for me.
