My father is a dentist. He has nothing to do with acting. He is proud of me. I come from a bourgeois family, like the family in The Dreamers.
I love the musicality of English. French sounds flat. In English, you can play with pitch.
I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body.
All my jewelry has stories.
I feel like I'm 1,000. I don't feel I'm young enough a lot of the time.
I've never been very good talking about myself.
It's boring to be like everybody.
Hollywood wouldn't suit me. In L.A. it's all about work - studio people have their five minutes with you and they go, 'Oh mah Gahd, I love your movie.' You just feel very self-conscious there.
I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.
I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.
A film can be big or small - I have to just fall in love with it. To connect with the character, the script, and the director. Sometimes they say to you, 'You should do that for your career; it's a big thing, people will go and see it,' but I wouldn't be able to, because my heart wouldn't be in it. I would drive people quite mad.
Life's too short to wear high heels.
For Tim Burton's birthday I gave him a rainbow beetle. He loved it!
For me, working out is nothing to do with looks. It's to let it all out - the stress, the self-consciousness - you think less; it makes you more centred.
