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

I've worked with Andre Techine lately and with a young unknown director on a short film. I choose my roles carefully.

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

I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants. Then if something happens to remind me that I'm an actress then I become a little different and things become a little heavy.

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

Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.

I never hoped that both my children would become actors. I expected them to do something else.
