I think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.

I'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

We older women in Europe are lucky not to be shoved away in a drawer.

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.

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.
