There was probably something as a child I wanted to express, something unsaid that I needed to share.

I never felt being an actor or making a movie was an easy thing to do.

The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.

A director could be 20 years old and an actor 60, or vice versa; it doesn't matter. It's about connecting sensibility and energy together, and having a vision that goes together and anchors the film as you go along.

If you told me tomorrow that I couldn't act anymore, it wouldn't bother me. I have only one wish: to meet the man of my life.

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

But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.
