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.

The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.

Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.

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 don't want to have to be pretty. I don't want to have to be adorable.

It doesn't make you feel very good being mean and fierce; it is much nicer playing people who are kind and sweet.
