Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.

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

I like all these little animals that run and eat and hide all the time. I like their faces, They seem to be scared and curious at the same time.

Sometimes, just to give the impression that you have the strength and the vitality demands a lot. You can't always give that impression when you have heels and a wig on and it's 40 degrees outside.

I admire Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet. I like a lot of comedians. I like Cameron Diaz - she's funny and has a very light spirit. That's quite rare nowadays. There are many actresses I admire.

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.

A lot of actors don't like to see how they've done every day.
