I don't feel I have to share everything.

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.

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

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

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

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

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