I would say I'm humanly engaged.

Usually I love preparing. It's really the time I prefer, because it's a time of reflection and of possibility of growth - to let it cook inside.

Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.

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

For me, real, truthful moments come from a place that I don't know. If somebody was telling me, "You're going to lift your face like this, you're going to do this..." No! I don't want to know. Just let me live it.

You have to have the courage to wait, to say no, ... And thats difficult. This job is very uncertain, and its frightening.

I'm very down-to-earth and accessible, I think.
