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

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.

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

Some roles are easier to choose, some roles are more difficult because they are more daring. Sometimes you have to dare.

One would expect an actress to stand onscreen mostly as a caricature. If she would say, "I'm selling shoes," you would believe her. She says it and it creates this fiction, non-fiction perception of the film. People believe it because she says it. If she said, "I'm a butcher," people would believe it too, I think.

It really helps you to go through difficult situations by just thinking about it as being a big amount of work which you have to solve how to do. For example, I don't feel very inspired when I act, I just act. That's it.

A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.
