swimming thinking kind
When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for Swimming Pool was kind of a burden. Like, OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo, and I was having problems coping with that image.
feelings cinema want
I really have problems with horror movies. I don't watch them. It's a feeling I don't want to have in cinema. I'm too reactive. It's too draining to watch that kind of movie.
shapes lines toes
As an actress, I'm supposed to create something from head to toes, with clues, with lines, with shapes, and even with that power, I felt lost and not in control.
character years two
Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I'm happy.
character swimming important
Swimming Pool was a very important moment for me because the character was written for me.
struggle years ideas
When you get quick fame and success and exposure, it makes you feel dizzy, and I didn't want to lose my balance 'cause that's something I've been struggling with for so many years. I'm not fond of the idea of making it in Hollywood. That's not my aim; otherwise, I would have settled down in Los Angeles.
crime humans human-beings
It's funny how human beings are so entertained by crimes.
actresses theater knows
You know, when you start, especially with me, I didn't really know I was going to be a movie actress. I thought I was going to do theater.
football wine feelings
In modelling or football, being 30 is very bad. But, for an actress, ageing is like wine. You taste better and better because your body, your mind, your feelings, all this is a tool and it's getting sharper with time.
character thinking sparks
There's a kind of chemical spark that comes sometimes with the character, that you don't even have to think about how she is reacting, you just let yourself go. You just let the character take you, instead of taking the character.
cinema lasts very-positive
Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.
short-life eight talking
Being a mum makes you more aware of how short life is and how important it is to enjoy every minute because you have less time for yourself. A day doesn't have 24 hours any more - it only lasts 10, or eight. So you learn to get rid of all the parasites. I'm not talking about people, but things that could be toxic for happiness.
swimming color cold
In 'Swimming Pool,' all the colors are very warm, sunny, the pool and all that. In 'Love Crime,' everything is so cold, and it's all inside skyscrapers.
paris villa beverly-hills
I'm not interested in making money, or being wealthy enough to have a villa in Beverly Hills, because in Paris I don't need that much money.
