I'm not even aware of my success. Success is such an illusion.
I am not a woman staying at home.
Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.
I try to see my films just once. it's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.
I've played journalists before, and I have good friends who are journalists. I think being an actor is not very far from being a journalist. Because you investigate, you try to understand, you're asking questions, you're interested in the other.
My private life is very private, and I have chosen not to live in America or England, where you are so exposed and can't fight against it.
It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.
Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.
Some words, you know, it's amazing but some words would come only in French, and when I speak French, it would only come in English. And so the adjustment is very difficult sometimes.
I have been proposed to four times. Twice at the beginning of a relationship and twice at the end of a relationship. I've never said no. I just didn't give an answer!
I would say I'm humanly engaged.
We're here to be with her, and to help her in a spiritual way. I think our presence here is a way to sustain the possibility of freedom.
