I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.

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.

I'm not a dancer, so I have to find a movement that belongs to me. I dance within my limits and with my imagination.

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

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.

Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.

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.
