My parents always told me that if you want something, you can do whatever you have to do to get it. As long as it's not against someone else.
When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it's really disturbing.
An artist is maybe not always having a normal life.
I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.
I didn't like anything about myself - my looks, my personality. I was very, very angry.
I find it easier to play someone who is so far from me because you create someone - you build this person based on the story and the script, with the director.
Im so lucky to have the opportunity to work with some directors and some actors I wouldnt have dared to think I would work with one day.
I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.
I'm a great fan of Michael Mann and when he asked to see me I couldn't believe it. I was very happy. I met him and I read this beautiful script. I didn't know anything about Dillinger. I fell in love with the movie and Michael Mann.
I took piano lessons when I was like 5 or 6 but that was a long time ago. I stopped when I was 13.
I don't live with my role, I'm a really normal person.
I was born in Paris and raised in the suburbs and then lived in the countryside.
I'm always very scared when I start a movie because I never know if I'm going to be able to do a good job or do a very bad job.
When I was little, there were so many people in my house. Everyone was enjoying themselves, rehearsing, having fun. It was like a playground.
