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.

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.

My truth could be very different than your truth.

I should love her like there is an ache that won't go away unless I'm with her.

You surely remember your past when you rebuke me in honesty.

Think what you would have been now, if instead of being fed with tales and old wives' fables in childhood, you had been crammed with geography and natural history!

The most famous actress who did the 'dumb blond' routine was Marilyn Monroe, but she was a genius actress.

C programmers never die. They are just cast into void.

He caught her as if he were used to catching fainting girls, as if he did it everyday.

The Oscar is the most valuable, but least expensive, item of world-wide public relations ever invented by any industry.

There are three stages in the work of God: impossible, difficult,done.

It's nice to be able to engage with this fan base that I've worked to build, brick by brick.
