My body is an instrument for me to use.

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

For me, I don't feel it is a success in the career to be the pretty woman; career success comes from being characters who tell us something about the truth.

I don't see my old films, but I think of the characters I played as friends, like the women I meet in my life who made strong impressions on me. I remember them and they are part of me.

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

My looks mean nothing to me. If anything, they are a hindrance.

There are moments when you feel that the desire to work is fading, and the only way to bring it back is to get away from it, to put yourself in a state of frustration so you feel the need again.
