I was born in Paris, and it's a beautiful place, but London feels like home. I like the village feeling, I like running in the parks - even the food isn't as bad as it used to be.

There are not many good roles for women.

I'll need my whole lifetime to polish my craft.

I'm French, so I'm quite lazy about exercising, and I smoke. But I do love going for a run in the morning with my dog. That's all.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

That is really the freedom that allows you to create something that is exciting because who knows what's true?

In a Tim Burton movie, you know it's going to be something unusual, or a bit mad. Something "other."
