I cannot imagine having a physical relationship with a woman. I have not done that. But I really love women.

The only human being I could tell everything was my sister Françoise. She and I were so diametrically different; put together we would have been a fantastic woman.

Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.

Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.

Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.

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.

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
