In the beginning, I didn't know if I was still a model, if I was an actress. I knew I wanted to be an actress, but it was so difficult to be believed.
Irreversible is not glamorous at all. I try to do different things because I want to grow as an actress and I like to take risks
When I make an American movie it's going to come out all over the world-it doesn't happen the same way for an Italian film or a French film.
In acting process, it's very difficult to explain. It's something very intimate, very private
Being an actress is the sublimation of feminity.
Envy is human nature.
My career, at the moment, is very exciting, but love comes first because it balances me.
Sometimes it's more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.
I live in Paris but I feel I am a daughter of Europe.
I'm not a movie star. I'm just an actress
When I have to go to Cannes, that is boring to me.
When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.
If you have a script that's not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who's not good, never are you going to have a good movie.
Time destroys everything.
