In France we have a law which doesn't allow the press to publish a photo that you didn't approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them.

I'm not sure I'm quite ready to have someone be a prospector of jobs for me, because I believe there's some kind of destiny involved with meeting people... some things are just meant to happen.

I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.

It's so easy and comfortable to lie to yourself. Success is to become who you are. I think Hollywood thinks in a totally different way. But I think that as a human being, and not only an actress, that's really how you lead a successful life.

I can be maternal with my friends.

I understand that nobody understands me, but I can't be someone I'm not.

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.
