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.

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'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.

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.

I hate sadness. Anything is better than sadness. Even feeling nothing.

The Government may not suppress lawful speech as the means to suppress unlawful speech.

With us it is not a question of Bolshevism or democracy, but of life or death. A decision in favor of a Soviet could not be opposed by the Young Turks.

Every burn on my body has had its own different personality. And all of them needed different things.

The Russians and the Chinese have been absolutely clear they don't want to see Iran with a nuclear weapon.

You have got to have discipline and focus - on the customer and how you run the business.

I think [ Lars Von Trier] is a fantastic filmmaker. No question. You've got to be ready for him. He's sharp and he's got a sharp tongue and I love that. He doesn't mind it back.

Everything starts and finishes with the soldier.

When I think of the person that I thought was Bill Clinton, I think he had genuine remorse. When I think of the person that I now see is 100 percent politician, I think he's sorry he got caught.

Never pass by a chance to shut up.
