Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves?
I'm super lucky because I come home and I don't have to run errands and clean the house and do all that.
My job makes me travel a lot and too often I'm away from my children, but I don't ever stop being a mom inside my head and my heart. There is no higher love than that.
Cafe De Flore speaks of love, its joys, its pains and its dramas - to love and to lose. This story upset me, I was upside-down, in the depths of myself.
When you meet the love of your life, it's just obvious and natural and easier.
Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.
I like the idea of reincarnation. I'm not a true believer, but I think the idea is beautiful, that life just doesn't stop. For soulmates, it's the term that I'm a little bit skeptical of. As soon as you put a label on something, it seems like that's it, you're done. Obviously I believe in love and making it last forever, but what's beautiful about that is you don't know if it's going to last forever. When you don't know that this is it, you, I think, enjoy it more.
I love clothes but I have spent so much of my professional life creating an image of one kind or another that it is nice not to care about it in life and let your skin breathe.
In the winter I separate, in the summer I marry. It's been 15 years since I've been getting married every year.
We [actors] are so lucky to do jobs that fulfill us and make us happy. We don't go to work thinking okay, we're working to put food in the fridge. We are doing that too, but we're working because we love what we do.
I was born in a suburb of Paris, and I grew up there until I was 16, so there were always a lot of barbecues, a garden, friends.
You fall for who the chemistry is with.
[When you are an actor] it's not a burden to go to work whether it's hard work, whether it's super early work, whatever. So, I go there because I want to be there. I want to do this. That helps a lot.
People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself.
Sometimes you could be in an unhappy relationship; you are very much in love with someone, but it's making you unhappy and you think things can change and you can work it out.
I liked to play dress-up.
Fear can make all of us do the wrong things sometimes.
The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny.
My daughter loves singing above all else.
I don't believe you can say 'forever'; I don't believe it exists.
Women are the real superheroes because they're not just working. They have a life and everything. I'm super lucky because I come home and I don't have to run errands and clean the house and do all that. Some women have all of this to do, too. And they manage and they live longer. How we do that, I don't know.
I don't have famous neighbours and if I did, I'd avoid them. I don't live the jet-set.
When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.
I'd love to be in a 1910s film - the era between the corsets and losing the corsets.
If you're going to play a character who has a deformed face, you should have a deformed face.
