I'm not sure that it's easy to find very interesting female characters in Hollywood movies.

I show through my movies that I can do something else. But I always play strong-minded characters. I think it's maybe because I'm like that. I love being by myself.

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 like photography and writing and travel, so I have a lot of cerebral occupations. I am going to become a sailor and do a world tour on my yacht if I don't get any more work.

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 would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

I'm not ready to do any compromises for my work.
