Truffaut loved actresses, and he was very intense. All the actresses I knew wanted to do a film with him.

I'm afraid of being too sure, to just deliver. I think that's the biggest danger for actors - after a certain time, when you're known and recognised, people expect you to do what you're supposed to do, and there's almost no more criticism and that's very dangerous.

Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.

Some people fall in love with their co-stars and feel things that they never thought they would feel for them because they are touching.

To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.

I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working.

On Belle de Jour, the producer was very protective. It was very hard for me.
