Ever since the movie premiered at Cannes, I've had a sudden surge of scripts and interest.

A character is never entirely white or black, there's never entirely right or wrong. You have to realize sometimes you face something, and then you change your mind, or then you realize you were wrong.

In France, it's always about life, normal life. We always stick with these realistic things. So when French people are dreaming about American movies, they go and see the thrillers, and Westerns, and science fiction, huge entertaining movies.

Sometimes we had to improvise. I hate to improvise because I felt like I couldn't find words.

Here, you go to the supermarket and you have wipes to clean your hands before shopping. No, we don't have that in France, but we recycle.

Of course, when you work on a character, you try to understand her. You feel that everything she does has a reason.

I feel very honored and special really. You can't imagine, to arrive at the Oscars when you arrive so low, and you can't go further than the Oscars.
