When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do it

I'm curious and you know, I really think cinema is strong medium that allows you to go to so many different mental countries, not just geographical countries. As far as it allows me to express something of my own truth, it's fine for me. I can go to the moon.

But theatre is always a difficult experience.

I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.

I was raised and I was going to school in the suburbs of Paris. And so we, I didn't really go to the riots, to the barricade. I was too young, actually. Rather young.

Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture.

To be "here and now," in principle, is just for once. And then you have to repeat that.
