France is an old country that needs to wake up.
A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.
Holiday? Is like, what? I'm a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That's my perfect holiday.
I'm not scared of growing old, I'm just scared of not achieving everything that I want to do.
I never took any theater lessons. So when I started to do movies, I was 14.
I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.
I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.
I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.
I'm not a crazy old cat lady!
I'm really confident. I had a perfect childhood. I had perfect parents and grandparents. They just love me, simply. So I have no fears.
The perfect life would be to have an amazing part every year and to spend all my free time to just write.
It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.
I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.
I love acting, but directing and writing have always been just as important. I started to write so many things when I was even a child. I wrote my first play when I was, like, seven years old. That was me - a writer - for years.
