I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.
There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.
The problem with me in doing things simply is that I feel I'm not enough. It's all very embarrassing.
Style for me is a casual way of putting something on. It's not thought out but needs to suit your way of life. Now I like wearing the same sweater over and over again, then taking it off when it's smelly.
The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.
You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.
I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.
I was very attached to my family when my father died. I was 19. I was about to go live with my father right when he died, so it was very intense.
Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.
Each time I changed, it was as if, on purpose, I didn't want anyone to know too much about me, which of course now I regret, because I closed myself to everything. But it was my way of dealing with things.
