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

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.

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

I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.

I don’t have tons of scripts where I don’t know what to choose and I’m trying to calculate. It’s either I read something and I have an impulse to do it, or in meeting someone, I want to work with them, but it’s always been very obvious.

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

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