Even if I think in English, it's more a language of acting than French.
I know so many acting careers that are deliberately kickstarted by a publicist placing a bit of rubbish in a newspaper. And I don't want that. If someone recognises me, I want it to be because they've seen me in something, not because they have seen me at something.
Eventually, I'll go back to acting, but for right now, my children are the most important thing in the world to me.
There is work, and there is pleasure, Acting is pleasure.
Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.
My introduction to acting was through theatre, so I actually saw a couple of Broadway shows that made me want to be an actor.
I fell in love with the art of acting back when I was 10 years old, actually.
I would say critically of myself that I am somebody without secrets. Sometimes acting depends on you having a secret. I don't think I've ever had that.
Stop wondering if you're good enough. Know you are, and start acting like it.
Acting as a career is a long term thing and that work is kind of progressive and you can build on a career. It's part of the great tradition of the theater to me.
I'm very lucky that I get to make a living out of acting, which is what I love, and the level of attention I receive has sometimes been my own fault and sometimes not been.
With acting, there is a level of anonymity which is conducive to your profession. There are examples of very public people who are on the cover of every celebrity magazine but can't open a film.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.
If you're trying to learn how to act from a class, you're analyzing the teachers' movements and their intricacies, and it becomes like a pantomime of you wanting to be them, and that's wrong. Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin. It's your own imagination, and your own version of it.
Acting is one of the professions I most respect because if you tried something and you can't do it and you thought at one time in your life - and of course, I did at one time of my life want it - and you realize that you can't do it that you can't just switch your personality that way, then you are in awe of people who can.

Acting is like painting pictures on bathroom tissues. Ten minutes later you throw them away and they are gone.
The day the process of acting becomes something that I dread is the end. Obviously, why would you do something that you hate? I won't do that.
Nothing really attracts me to the film industry, to be perfectly honest. I look at acting as an art, and that's all it is for me. It's just fun.
For me acting is a passion and an art, and always will only be that. I don't have any rules when it comes to acting. I'll do anything. But it depends on the script. Either I'll have passion for the project or I won't. It's got to fuel me.
I never thought Hollywood is the life I want to do. I thought acting is the life I want to do.
I love acting. Acting's always been my first love. I grew up watching multi-camera television shows... And I thought I would absolutely be in for that.
