When you really put your heart in the work, you don't think of how you look. And I think that's the beauty of it.

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

I like being a mother, and I want to be involved in my work, so I have to make choices. If you're a film actress, your career is from 20 to 45, but you can still dream.

I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.

I move on stage differently. The more you act, anyway, the more you live, your perception of life becomes more and more accurate.

My outlook on life is to be true. To take risks. To love the shadows as well as the light. To find your task. To recognise your task. To be active.

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