Each new film is like a trial. Before I step in front of the camera, I do not know whether I am going to fall or whether I am going to fly - and that is exactly the way I want it to stay.

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.

The thing is that I never felt beautiful. I really never did. I think I can change my looks and be different things, but I've never thought of myself as this face.

When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.

Changing someone's life is not the best, is not wanting to change the other life. It is being who you are that changes another's life. Do you understand?

Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.

I've played journalists before Elles, and I have good friends who are journalists. I think being an actor is not very far from being a journalist. Because you investigate, you try to understand, you're asking questions, you're interested in the other.
