I'm not interested in making money, or being wealthy enough to have a villa in Beverly Hills, because in Paris I don't need that much money.

When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for 'Swimming Pool' was kind of a burden. Like, OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo and I was having problems coping with that image.

In 'Swimming Pool,' all the colors are very warm, sunny, the pool and all that. In 'Love Crime,' everything is so cold, and it's all inside skyscrapers.

I don't act to be popular, or see my face on the cover of magazines every time I go out to get coffee. I don't want to think about me all the time, and what I look like.

As an actress, I'm supposed to create something from head to toes, with clues, with lines, with shapes, and even with that power, I felt lost and not in control.

I hate to recreate the whole world into my imagination.

I would love to meet some directors, and why not do some other movies in America? But, I'm not obsessed with this idea. I'm feeling very free in Europe.

It's funny how human beings are so entertained by crimes.

Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.

I really have problems with horror movies. I don't watch them. It's a feeling I don't want to have in cinema. I'm too reactive. It's too draining to watch that kind of movie.

Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I'm happy.

the world was in the hands of those who had courage to dream and to realize their dreams

There was nothing for it now but to throw himself on Campos's mercy, and it had been Mr. Rebeck's experience of mercy that it had a tendency to buckle under the weight of a human soul.

Accept the things To which fate binds you and Love the people with whom fate Brings you together But do so with all your heart.

Valentines Day itself, like most holidays in the modern era, has been heavily influenced by commercialism that focuses on the appeal of romantic fantasies.

Guilt: punishing yourself before God doesn't.

Old memories are very easy to get except that once you write about something you've destroyed it.

To kill someone, even treacherously is more manly than to wound a friend by betraying his confidence.

I just walked out of the room. I was like, I'm embarrassed, so I need to leave.

I just strive to do better. Every time I meet somebody, I ask myself, "How can I help this person?"

I like to say I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, I'm a Christ-o-crat.
