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 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.

My parents sent me to Montreal because I kept getting kicked out of school in France.

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 played football when I was little. I didn't want to be an actress at all, I wanted to be a majorette in an Australian circus. That was my ambition.

Sometimes you feel more naked when you're totally dressed than the other way around.

I am a voyager - and the voyage cannot mean that I stay at home.
