In the '80s, I was the only one who didn't watch the shows about teenagers. I had to go over to friends' houses to see them. I still don't have a TV!
In Los Angeles, you feel like everything revolves around the movies. In Paris, you still have other things to do.
I've always felt lucky because my parents included my sister and I in their cultural life.
An actor alone is a bit naked. Like when you do something in front of your mirror, you're usually really bad, because you're looking at yourself.
I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.
There's a kind of amateurishness among French actresses, but I don't share that completely.
I realised that since I was a child I wanted to be an actress just to dress up in big fabrics and corsets and have adventures riding horses with lots of blood and action!
That's the problem with the Internet: You do a naked scene and then it's taken out of context and put on websites that have nothing to do with film.
Once I caught my dad in front of the TV watching a tennis match, and I realized they were tricking us. Poor guy, he had to sneak in a tennis final - probably the French Open.
To me, performing means trying to do the most you can with the partner in front of you, with the story you're telling. There are actors who have carried me, who have brought me elsewhere or with them.
I can wait for film projects without having to do things to live.
I think what is interesting in life is all the cracks and all the flaws and all the moments that are not perfect.
I am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they're saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial.
When it comes to fame, I am in a very convenient position. I live a very normal life.
