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

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.

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

My body is an instrument for me to use.

I keep reading that I'm cold. But I'm not, I'm shy. And I play a lot of women of fire and sexuality like an animal - so I'm cold on one side and fiery on the other.

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.

When I'm playing a part, I can feel all my body playing it; it's like really making love.
