I was so lucky because I started working very young. And my father was very wealthy and I didn't need to work. I did my films. I was very well paid for my age, and I could make choices, decide not to do a film for six months and wait until I'd get the right thing. Which made me quite a coward, you know. It's so easy to say no to stuff, and then, after a while, it's very hard to go back in.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

Maybe, in the back of my head, I'm thinking I have to do as much as I can. It'll stop.

I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.

In France I'm very private, I don't like talking about my life, and I imagined that people would think that I'm now an open book.
