I like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.

I don't think I'm a perfect mother. I think I'm trying my best. I think it's complicated, it's difficult. I think I'm learning from my kids so much to be their mother. I don't think you're born a mother, I think you become a mother.

I need relationships, but sometimes when I am in one I feel claustrophobic. It is about feeling that I still have my freedom, that I have choices. I don't look back on the past because I like to live in the present. I know this makes some people think I probably never cared, but I need my freedom and I like to keep moving.

Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.

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 am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.
