I don't think that I'm that sophisticated. Maybe I'm not aware of it, I don't know.
Im so lucky to have the opportunity to work with some directors and some actors I wouldnt have dared to think I would work with one day.
I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.
I think we’re lied to about a number of things,
The first thing I have to do to erase my French accent is think that it is actually possible, whereas for the moment, I think it's not. I have a lot of work.
'Particularly' is particularly difficult because the 'L' and the 'R' are totally different, like totally different letters. I would spend hours in front of the mirror with my dialect coach to observe my tongue. You don't think, when you speak, about all the things that happen in your jaw and your mouth, how everything reacts, so you have to watch all those things and realise we have a totally different use of our tongue and jaws.
I think that you always learn something from working with good actors.
I started to write songs. And I started to like what I was writing. I think it's a new way for me to express things that are closer to myself than when I play a role, because, of course, it's really not me. I'm finding a new way. I don't know what it's going to be. But I know that I will need to give it to people one day.
I'll never approach a part in the same way again. Piaf taught me so much. In terms of my work, I think I'll enjoy it even more than before, because now I know that characters truly exist in their own right. I'll have a way to bring them even more intensely to life.
I think that when you don't see the boundaries, you cross them without even knowing they exist in the first place.
I think what we've experienced in the past is that people do like to be challenged.
I think you're where you have to be and I'm not a person who wants to control things too much because I love surprises.
I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.
I think in friendship, you want to be there for your friend, and sometimes you just don't know what to do or the relationship you have with them is not clear enough for you to know what to do.
