I like Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. I have some great Balenciaga jackets and I'm shoe crazy.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

I love acting, but directing and writing have always been just as important. I started to write so many things when I was even a child. I wrote my first play when I was, like, seven years old. That was me - a writer - for years.

Every time a director calls me and says, 'If you practice a lot in two months, can you be an American?' And I always tell them, 'Well, maybe but I'm French. So it's going to be hard to be someone else.'

There are a lot of French actresses who just hate me now. I've made enemies.
