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.

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.

I just decided that I would not put my professional life on hold to raise children. I know that sounds selfish to a lot of people and I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing. But that's the way I'm doing it.

After 10 years of French torture - psychological torture - it's great to do an American movie.

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

I'm trying my best to keep my private life guarded. It's not easy at all. Non, non, non.

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.
