The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.

I've done many, many French movies and many, many English movies. I think it frees something when you don't talk in your mother language, but I also think you withdraw something as well. I'm a French actress, and sometimes I speak in English-speaking roles. For me, being an actress was always being a traveler. It goes together.

Sometimes, an actress maybe knows how to think.

I always thought that's the exact metaphor, the perfect metaphor for acting. To go blind, to ignore the danger, and to totally trust.

I saw Chekhov a number of times in English, and I thought that it translates very well in English, for some reason, from the Russian to the English.

I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.

When I hear myself, I don't know how I sound.
