A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington.

I consider myself a 'local' actor in France. I started out in France, I went to drama school in France and the French film community was very welcoming to me when I was a young actress.

I don't want to let my life as a woman pass me by. There's a time to work, there's a time to be young and crazy, and there should be a time to enjoy motherhood. I'm actually looking forward to that.

In Paris, I rent a bike in the street and cycle around, and in L.A. I live up in the hills so I go hiking a lot.

I don't obsess about my weight. I just know I've got to watch it when my pants feel tight.

When you are in a relationship, you want the other person to appreciate the things you like. It sounds superficial, but it's nice.
