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.

You can tell how nervous I am by how fast I am talking!

I have a strong sense of responsibility. I like to be directed, it's true. If I didn't like that, I'd do something else.

It's very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.

I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.

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 like working with directors much, because I want to be able to give myself completely to their vision. Otherwise I would only do what I could do, again and again. I want to be taken by someone in a different direction.
