Beauty is not something you can count on. Usually, when people say you are beautiful, it is when there is a harmony between the inside and the outside.

I stay in France. Better to be the queen of a village than a servant in a kingdom.

I give everything I have to give on the screen. I feel I don't owe the public anything else.

There are a lot of films where I play characters that are about the windows to the interior person rather than the exterior.

Today I would say, 'I am against plastic surgery.' It's a grave act. An act that touches our soul. It was frightening.

Very often with an American movie, the end is very happy and you just feel good when you go out. When you go to a French movie, it's kind of like, "oh!", and you can't go out; you're stuck in your chair. It goes so deeply inside of the heart.

I've just done a film in the United States. It's a thriller called 'A Crime', with Harvey Keitel, we play against each other, and it's so great to play in another language. But I'm definitely not American.
