The first thing, the main thing, about how I work is I need to understand the character.
I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.
I’ll never approach a part in the same way again. Piaf taught me so much. In terms of my work, I think I’ll enjoy it even more than before, because now I know that characters truly exist in their own right. I’ll have a way to bring them even more intensely to life.
I don’t stick to special techniques, conscious techniques.
I’m not a method actor, but I’m affected by the life I share my life with during shooting. It’s always a very strange and special period for me.
My parents always told me that if you want something, you can do whatever you have to do to get it. As long as it’s not against someone else.
I would love to go into an animal’s dream – like a lion’s or a cat’s. I’m sure that’s pretty awesome.
Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.
An artist is maybe not always having a normal life.
The first thing I have to do to erase my French accent is think that it is actually possible, whereas for the moment, I think it’s not. I have a lot of work.
I am not very good at expressing myself in a simple way so it can create mis-understandings and I hate that.
When I was little, there were so many people in my house. Everyone was enjoying themselves, rehearsing, having fun. It was like a playground.
I couldn’t live without music. I experienced things through music in different countries where you cannot speak the same language, but the music and the dance relates everything.
I was born in Paris and raised in the suburbs and then lived in the countryside.
I’m always very scared when I start a movie because I never know if I’m going to be able to do a good job or do a very bad job.
As an actress I just want to tell beautiful stories.
I think the Earth and everything around it is connected – the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.
I took piano lessons when I was like 5 or 6 but that was a long time ago. I stopped when I was 13.
I was shy. I was more than shy.
We lost this animal instinct that we used to have. We use a very low percentage of our instinct.
