I never thought I would have an opportunity to act in the United States, and continue to expand my career outside of Europe. To be honest, my reality is bigger than I would have ever dared to dream.

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.

A well-cut dress is my personal style. I definitely like it classic; less is more. The thing I despise most is vulgarity.

I didn't grow up watching a lot of TV.

It's taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I'll ever play.

Brad Pitt seems to have no problem getting parts that he wants, nor does Angelina Jolie. Not that I'm saying I look like either of them, but I just don't think that it has anything to do with that. It's the emotions or characters you are able to take on that will get you work, not necessarily the way you look. Obviously, beauty can open doors - it is Hollywood, after all - but that's not enough.

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