My body is an instrument for me to use.
I don't give a damn about Hollywood.
I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.
I'm trying my best to keep my private life guarded. It's not easy at all. Non, non, non.
I'm less desperate now to express what's inside me, that's true - I act these days because it keeps me awake and interested, an eternal student.
We've all had that fear, that despair of losing someone, or this fierce desire because it's not reciprocated. The less reciprocation there is, the more desire we have.
Beauty is not something you can count on. Usually, when people say you are beautiful, it is when there is a harmony between the inside and the outside.
After 10 years of French torture - psychological torture - it's great to do an American movie.
It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema.
I wouldn't say I was a rebel as such, but I certainly wasn't right at school.
I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.
I played football when I was little. I didn't want to be an actress at all, I wanted to be a majorette in an Australian circus. That was my ambition.
I had my mouth done when I was 27. It was a botched job. Obviously, if I had liked my mouth I wouldn't have had it re-done.
I give everything I have to give on the screen. I feel I don't owe the public anything else.
