I understand that we cannot make other people happy when they are unhappy.

I really like to discover a new culture, a new country, a new rhythm of living. I really, really like that. I think that's the most enriching thing, for my nature, because I like the psychology of people.

I wouldnt mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly dont want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.

A certain type of critic doesn't really want French movies to be visual. They think movies started from books and they forgot this part of moviemaking, like Chaplin and Buster Keaton, which I didn't forget.

I'm not imagining me being the James Bond girl, because anyway I don't have the good maturation.

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