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

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.

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

I have ideas of subjects and atmospheres that I love. I either want to go in a tougher, stronger direction or do the opposite: simple ballads.

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.

I don't feel that I've accomplished anything. I feel that it'll be better when I won't care as much, but it's so difficult to let go and accept all the wrong notes.
