I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.

I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

I would love to be able to do a film. I would love to be able to focus on what excites me in watching actors.

I'd love to be able to write again, but I'm so repetitive. And it was all about fear. Never positive. Just indulgent about my sadness.

Each time I changed, it was as if, on purpose, I didn’t want anyone to know too much about me, which of course now I regret, because I closed myself to everything. But it was my way of dealing with things.

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

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.
