When you decide to adapt some Russian novel, it's like everyone knows about it but nobody has read it.

Even if I have only ten more years in front of me, it's such an intensive life. I have the feeling that I have already lived three lives in three years.

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.

There are moments when it's unbelievable how people who work on the hair or on the little bit of skin here, they have no other care or interest since this part of their job is the only thing that needs to look good. So you have to push everybody to the side so that you can have a connection with your actor and give some air to your actor.

I love the fact that there's an evolution in your understanding and the difference between the first time you play the role and last time you play the role - there's an incredible arc and that's wonderful.

It was new to play a woman who plays with her sincerity, and who is a seductress, a manipulator and a liar! I was able to compose a character as opposed to being very natural, so it was very interesting for me. It was great to realise that I could be this kind of real woman!
