"I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way."

"For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music."
Music
"I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything."
Talent
"Before I do a play I say that I hope it's going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It's like a drug."
Time
"It really helps you to go through difficult situations by just thinking about it as being a big amount of work which you have to solve how to do. For example, I don't feel very inspired when I act, I just act. That's it."
Work
"Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture."
Change
"For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at!"
Music
"For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top."
Being
"But theatre is always a difficult experience."
Experience
"The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre."
Character
"Yes, he wanted me to do Funny Games before, which I didn't want to do because the film was very theoretical - the way people experience violence on screen. There was very little space for fiction, it was more like a sacrifice for the actors than anything else."
