The Cannes film festival is about big-budget films but also remarkable films made in different political regimes by film-makers with little resources.

I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.

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 still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.
