I wanted to have an international career, which I have, and be free to work with whoever I wanted to work with. My instinct was to go back to France afterwards. I went to do a small film, then I went back and forth.
Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.
I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.
I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.
I'm not even aware of my success. Success is such an illusion.
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.
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
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!
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.
