Coco Chanel really wanted to have freedom of a man, and at first the only way she could find that freedom was through the clothes. They freed her movement; she got rid of the corset. This imposed her not as a decoration but as a real personality. She invented a new way of seductions through these clothes.

People in France are very intrusive when they recognize you. In New York, they are very polite, with quick words, so it's great.

I don't really know Hollywood, and I think that L.A. needs a bit of time to really know the city, because it's such a huge city.

I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.

I like to think in camera, but at the last minute the most important thing is that there is something happening between the actors. But good actors can have a lot of scenes going around them but sometimes it sort of helps the performance because it takes their mind off of who they are supposed to be.

I don't want to think my life as a career. I'm interested in my work only because of the meaning I can make.
