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.

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.

Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I'm happy.

Making a product is just an activity, making a profit on a product is the achievement.

As I get older, I've been having a better and better time.

I think that the massive, overarching, interconnected systems of technology tend to make us a little insecure, somewhat pliable, and susceptible to half-beliefs.

Having things organized is for small-minded people. Genius controls chaos.

Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.

Every historian has informally an anthropology, without ever using the word.

I never felt so close to a guitar as that silver one with mirrors that I used on stage all the time.

I just love working with actors in general.

Civilization survives on the constant discovery of amity and an equal supply of damnation.
