| 1. | At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience. |
|
| 2. | Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that. |
|
| 3. | Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading. |
|
| 4. | I can be very inhibited and complex. |
|
| 5. | I can see what my mother gave me, very English things, like Morecambe and Wise. But with the English I'm not really comfortable. |
|
| 6. | I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough. |
|
| 7. | I didn't know where to begin-I was very frustrated, not knowing how to start. At the same time it was very enjoyable to be able to wear my own clothes. |
|
| 8. | I don't feel I have to share everything. |
|
| 9. | I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation. |
|
| 10. | I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time. |
|
| 11. | I have a very easy life, but you depend on other people's will, and sooner or later you get doubts about yourself. |
|
| 12. | I have my life to lead. If nothing happens in the next few years, I'll just let go. |
|
| 13. | I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one. |
|
| 14. | I imagine it's very hard for parents to let go of their child like that, but they made me feel that I could decide. |
|
| 15. | I know that Yvan has no problems talking about our son. But I have problems, because I have lived it with my parents. |
|
| 16. | I so loved the script, but I was scared at what people would think-I thought maybe it would be taken seriously. |
|
| 17. | I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself. |
|
| 18. | I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play. |
|
| 19. | I used to hate being recognised. |
|
| 20. | I was putting all those pressures on myself. |
|
| 21. | I was very shy as a teenager, so I felt uncomfortable as soon as someone recognised me in the street. |
|
| 22. | I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments. |
|
| 23. | I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again. |
|
| 24. | I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life. |
|
| 25. | I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest. |
|
| 26. | I'm getting more and more desperate. I can't just open the doors and let people in. |
|
| 27. | I'm sure that my mother and father must have read the script for Paroles et Musique, but we never talked about it. |
|
| 28. | If I take a step back, I see that it's a weird job to be doing. But I've been into it since I was 12 and I love it. |
|
| 29. | In 10 years I've seen all the different governments, and they've never done anything. |
|
| 30. | In Franc, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family. |
|
| 31. | In France I'm very private, I don't like talking about my life, and I imagined that people would think that I'm now an open book. |
|
| 32. | It wasn't a question of being jealous of their parts, it was just a question of what was my place in that comedy. |
|
| 33. | It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside. |
|
| 34. | It's nice that we have all these different films. |
|
| 35. | Journalists wanted to get information about how I was raised, what my father was like, our private life. I hated it. |
|
| 36. | Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top-I think that's the main thing for me to work on. |
|
| 37. | My parents, they're so popular - people are very sweet with the whole family. It's quite special. |
|
| 38. | My voice was shaky, and I didn't have any breath. We tried all sorts of things to make me a little freer. Drinking: that didn't work. Hiding behind a sheet: that worked. |
|
| 39. | No one pushed me to do a film, and I can't remember either my mother or my father saying what they thought about scripts. |
|
| 40. | Oh, the interviews. I started doing them when I was 13 or 14. I found it terrible. |
|
| 41. | On one film I was not very self-confident. I was asking everyone if they had seen the rushes, wanting to get advice from everyone. I went into a panic. |
|
| 42. | The English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French. |
|
| 43. | The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me. |
|
| 44. | The director was doing the acting and the directing with such energy at the same time that it was a pleasure to watch. |
|
| 45. | The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film. |
|
| 46. | The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right. |
|
| 47. | There was a scene where we were making love, but in a very trashy way, and it was supposed to be funny but I didn't feel it was funny. |
|
| 48. | There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that. |
|
| 49. | Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright. |
|
| 50. | When My Wife is an Actress came out in France, people said it doesn't look like a French film, that it has more of a British tone to it, which I find very flattering. |
|
| 51. | When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all. |
|
| 52. | You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much. |
|
| 53. | You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? |
