I was very well paid for my age, and I could make choices, decide not to do a film for six months and wait until I'd get the right thing. Which made me quite a coward.

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

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.

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

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 more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

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