I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.

French sounds flat. In English, you can play with pitch.

At the end of the day, I choose something that makes my heart beat, that I can relate to, that's very complex, or human.

Seeing what the film becomes, out of your hands - you never know, you know? I'm always rather anxious. It's not like in theater when you are more in control. You're more - not a puppet, but you don't control it. You don't own it.

Some people collect butterflies - I love beetles.

If I can avoid doing stunts, I will. I don't want to die just for a movie. It's not worth it.

I'd rather be thought as an international actress rather than a French one. Because I don't know what's coming up for me, my ambition is not to be typecast. So I'm working on my English accent, as well as my American one. I don't want to be like 'Okay, I'm French, and I want to succeed in Hollywood!'
