I didn’t want people to decide what I was going to wear and what I was going to look like and how I should behave.

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.

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

To me, performing means trying to do the most you can with the partner in front of you, with the story you're telling. There are actors who have carried me, who have brought me elsewhere or with them.

I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.

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.

I feel so lucky that I live in a society that lets women be. I think that's the one of the biggest fights to keep having, is to fight for women to have the right to live their life the way they want to live it.
