My mother did movies from the New Wave, but I was quite shocked I didn't know much about that period. Bernado showed us film of the demonstrations of the time.

When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.

Some people collect butterflies - I love beetles.

Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

I feel sick if I have to do something for the money. I can't breathe. I'm not proud of myself.

I hardly ever go to parties. If I really have to, I'll go, but I'm not the most open person, which is sometimes not the best quality.

I'll need my whole lifetime to polish my craft.

I'm French, so I'm quite lazy about exercising, and I smoke. But I do love going for a run in the morning with my dog. That's all.

In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something.

In this business actors who have Botox or surgery make you very aware of age. It's awful.

It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I've taken are those. Lot's of people put me in the dark category.

Lots of shy people dress a bit too much. It's just kind of an armour. People say the same thing about me.

My father is Swedish and my mother is French.
