People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.
Usually I love preparing. It's really the time I prefer, because it's a time of reflection and of possibility of growth - to let it cook inside.
I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.
I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
I move on stage differently. The more you act, anyway, the more you live, your perception of life becomes more and more accurate.
I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.
As an actress, I think there is always a political consciousness there.
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
As an actor, I have to be fulfilled in the roles that I play; it has to be a journey for me to learn something or involve myself.
I'm very down-to-earth and accessible, I think.
When I'm in the movie, I'm entirely in the movie. When I'm on the set, I'm 200 per cent there; when I'm at home, I'm 200 per cent at home.
As actors, we are so privileged to do what we do and to give to the world and to choose the subject we want to say to the world.
Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.
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!
