I love vampire stories. That's why I did the movie. Women especially were taken with that movie-even more so when it came out on video.

Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.

The story is more important to me than the part.

I think I will always feel a special relationship with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, because for me it was something very, very special. It was a modern opera, and to play the heroine in a film that became such a success at a young age, and learning from him when I was so young and impressionable - really it was one of my most important experiences.

I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.

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.

You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today.
