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

The body is an actor's tool, like the face, malleable. I never thought that being naked was immoral or outrageous.

My looks haven't prevented me from playing prostitutes or people broken by life. But when they need a token blonde with big breasts, that's OK, too. It's part of the game.

The press follow me. I sue them. That's the deal.

Once I opened my eyes to the realities of life, I couldn't close them.

There is a phrase in French, which means 'to miss.' To pass by. To not be able to stop. You love someone and someone loves you, but it just can't work for different reasons.

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.
