As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
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.
Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.
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 think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.
I never felt being an actor or making a movie was an easy thing to do.
I would say I'm humanly engaged.
Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
You have to have the courage to wait, to say no, ... And thats difficult. This job is very uncertain, and its frightening.
My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.
