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

It might seem paradoxical given my profession, but I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight.

I can be maternal with my friends.

I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks.

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 want to think my life as a career.

When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.
