The more you live, the better an actor you are, but maybe I'd like to do something else on the side. Something to pay the bills as well.

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 am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they're saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial.

I believe you have to make things happen.

I've always felt lucky because my parents included my sister and I in their cultural life.

Paris is where my family are, but it's not really home now because I have dear friends in London and dear friends in New York.

I realised that since I was a child I wanted to be an actress just to dress up in big fabrics and corsets and have adventures riding horses with lots of blood and action!
