I had mice that I kept as pets when I was very young, and I've always liked the way they look. Even rats. I'm not scared of them.
Film is a very young art that is still evolving. Soon, we shall reach a balance between content and technology.
A lot of actors don't like to see how they've done every day.

Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.
I think I will always feel a special relationship with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, because for me it was something very, very special.

Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working.
But I never gave up personal things to work, never.

Actors have to be there and do the work, and that's enough.
