In America, you don't have to be weak, you have to be strong.
I don't have any preconceived ideas of myself. I just take things as they come.
My proudest moment is when I'm part of a good film, when people are touched by it.
As an actor, it's up to you to show that you can do something else. For me, the interesting actors don't always go where you expect to find them.
There are no nail salons in Paris - it is very expensive to do a manicure. I sometimes get one done.
I don't really wear makeup every day. I feel like being an actress - we wear a lot of makeup - but when I am not working, I need to let my face breathe and be very comfortable.
I see that people now recognize me in the street. But it doesn't change me in the depth of my being.
I think that I'm shy and I judge myself. But at the same time, I also have big contradictions. I can be sometimes sure of myself as well. I'm not always fragile and vulnerable. I can feel tough and strong.
I've always felt that Americans are very in the moment. There's not so much melancholia and mystery as there is in France. Everything must be understood. Everything must be analyzed.
I found it hard to express myself in the world. I was very shy. I'm still very shy. But also, when I was a child, I could get very... I had this violence... I still get angry. But I don't break things; I'm not hysterical.
Music was my first love, but it was difficult for me. It's something that I really love, but I didn't feel that I was so good at it. I can sing well, but I'm not a great singer. When I sing, I don't feel I'm expressing all the emotions.
I find it hard to be joyful on screen because I'm so tense.
I love challenge. I love to be afraid before a film, before acting. I think always I want to experience fear. I've become addicted to this feeling.
I see society as something dangerous, and you have to save yourself from the rules. I think acting is the way I save myself.
