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 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.

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

I can wait for film projects without having to do things to live.

I've often been told that I'm a bit strange. I hear that pretty regularly, but it is not how I see myself.

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!

My mother kept alive the best part for my sister and me. At the same time, she's always been someone who's very straight and solid, which wasn't that -common in families with "'68er" parents.
