I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.

I like travelling and if I have to come to Hollywood to make a movie I will, but otherwise I'd never move there. It's very much an industry town and that doesn't really interest me.

I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.

Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It's not that I'm pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don't stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.

When I won the Oscar, there was something telling me 'this isn't the truth'. I had to get back to real work.

I was so happy when they cast me in Chocolat, because it's one of my vices.
