I love being a beginner. It can be a terrible feeling because you're ashamed of everything you do, but it's so exciting at the same time.

I was really nervous about people booing, because my mother had gone for a film 20 years earlier and had a terrible time with people booing, whistling, so I knew that in Cannes people can get aggressive.

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 English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French.

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.

I started so old, so the touring world will always be a foreign land for me. I'll never be someone who's "been on the road."
