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

The paparazzi are nothing but dogs of war.

I did important films when I was very young.

You're better off not preparing, because what you prepare will always be wrong.

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.

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.

The story is more important to me than the part.
