I know some real intellectual people who might laugh, very close friends who might laugh when I'm said to be an intellectual.

In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn't mingle them. Now it's more ambiguous.

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

Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.

I always thought that's the exact metaphor, the perfect metaphor for acting. To go blind, to ignore the danger, and to totally trust.

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.

For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music.

I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal.

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.

We all pretend to be very strong, and then in a fraction, you can just break down, at least for me.

A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.

I guess love laughs at history a little.

At least I had frost on my nose, boots on my feet, and protest in my mouth.

Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.

The landscape for business isn’t changing because of social media, it’s changing because consumer expectations are evolving.

No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins we the people, not us the government.

I get her to school, we do homework at night, and at this age, their social calendars are really quite hectic. She's not driving yet, so I end up chauffeuring her around.

There are no real men.

It gave me a strange feeling, and the rest of that night I didn’t say much, but merely sat there and drank, trying to decide if I was getting older and wiser, or just plain old.

I was of the type who gets bullied rather than the one who does the bullying, which I'm glad about. I'd rather be that than a bully.

All I need to do to stay healthy is look at my three boys.
