I think it's a legend that Lars von Trier is such a tough person to work with. I really didn't experience any of that. Of course, he's difficult in the sense that what he asks for is difficult. For my part in Antichrist, I suffered a bit. But it was the part - it wasn't him. He wasn't cruel. On the contrary, he was very kind. You know what you're up for when you read the pitch.

There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.

I can't do things by myself. I need a motivation, and the motivation is always the director's. I find my freedom inside other people's barriers. It's easier for me to find myself inside someone else's tracks.

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.

I think I developed a very closed personality. I didn't really have friends. I changed schools every year.

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

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