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 know people think that I always play these characters who are in control and can chop someone's head off with a look.

Films are just consumables.

Often, the roles I'm offered in England are melancholic women who are filled with regret for the past, regret for their fading beauty.

I'm very wary of trust, you see.

I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.

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