I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.

I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?

I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.

French culture takes ageing very seriously. There's much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries.

I have never met a woman who works who doesn't feel guilty. I mean we all deny it like crazy but deep down there is always that voice saying you should be at home.

Successful films are very dangerous things.
