I don't give a damn about Hollywood.

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.

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

Of course I am political. You 'ave to be don't you? Every day it is about your future, your right to that future. 'Ow can people ignore this? We 'ave to leave a good world for our children, n'est-ce pas?

In Hollywood there's no real material. They would send me stuff, but I hadn't even seen the director. If I don't see the director's eyes, I'm not going. I'm not even going to pack my bags.

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

I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.
