I had starred in TV movies without much artistic value. They gave me a certain range. I knew that I was going to continue my studies, but I wanted to try something else on the side. I wanted to see what would come of it.

When it comes to fame, I am in a very convenient position. I live a very normal life.

I used to spend hours at night, downstairs, in front of the only full-length mirror in the house, standing on the table working out what I would wear to school the next day.

I think it's too bad when teenagers become conformist in terms of fashion,because it's the ideal time to go off into your own crazy thing without looking completely idiotic.

There are very few actresses who can grow old and still get exciting parts... I think it's very important for me to have wider horizons, rather than just waiting for calls.

That's the problem with the Internet: You do a naked scene and then it's taken out of context and put on websites that have nothing to do with film.

There's a kind of amateurishness among French actresses, but I don't share that completely.
