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.

It's difficult for me to write in English as it's not my first language, but French is even worse because of my father's influence and because the comparisons that I - not even other people - would make.

Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.

The problem with me in doing things simply is that I feel I'm not enough. It's all very embarrassing.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?
