I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.

My parents sent me to Montreal because I kept getting kicked out of school in France.

You may think of me as an object of desire and I'm going to tell you that I can be in front of you naked and not be erotic.

It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema.

I think my best work has been in France with great men. It's been my great fortune to work with really great men - with Olivier Assayas, Raoul Ruiz, Jacques Rivette. I am tutored by them.

I was a very bad student. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn't want to go farther in school. I hated school and was always the bad one; I was always insulting the teachers.

It is not easy to age in harmony with one's roles.
