I like Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. I have some great Balenciaga jackets and I'm shoe crazy.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

I'm not a crazy old cat lady!

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

The perfect life would be to have an amazing part every year and to spend all my free time to just write.

I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.

It's so French to be a cat person.

I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.

France is an old country that needs to wake up.

I think I was, like, maybe frustrated for many years because I didn't try to direct. And since I made my movie I'm just like, 'It's great.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Everything that you need to succeed has been given to you.

My soul, how will I recognize you if we meet?

I definitely challenge people. But hopefully, I am working harder than anybody else, and so people won't resent the fact that I want them to work hard, as well.

Dreams and expectations also have the very dark flipside of disappointment, broken dreams.

You'd have to be daft as a brush to say you didn't like Pink Floyd.

I don't like to act because my life is a pantomime anyway.

Sometimes people do things that are complicated. For complicated reasons.
