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.

My body is a baby machine.

I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

I was terrible at school.

In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'

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

I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother.
