I think, being an actress, you know that you're getting old. I'm 44. I mean, an agent said when I turned 40, "It won't get better."

In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.

It rarely happens that I get to work again with the same director. I had such a wonderful time on Antichrist with Lars von Trier, that I was going to do whatever he proposed me to do. When he sent me the script of Christmas, I just loved it. I think I love anything he writes.

You don't accept your weaknesses the same way that you love the weaknesses of another artist, because when they make mistakes they don't look like weaknesses.

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

I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.

I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.
