Like all school students, I think I did a play in my school. The common things, I would say. Nothing really exceptional.

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 was the youngest of five, and I think my mother always knew I was meant to be an actress.

Well, my mother, she made me apply for a school where I was supposed to learn how to type. She said, well, instead of going to demonstrate she should at least [learn], because, everything was on strike. So we had to learn something in the meantime.

By definition, acting is improvisation, even if you follow the lines. You invent what you do, when you do it.

There are many different ways of being funny. I'm not sure that there's so many different ways of being dramatic.

It was sometimes 60 degrees [Celsius], but it's very strange, cinema makes you forget reality most of the time. You are more concerned about your inner feelings, or your work.
