My children are lovely. They're perfect.

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

I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.

It takes a long time to appreciate one's parents.

I think I'm inspired mostly by other artists that aren't actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave.

Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.

Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.
