I'm really confident. I had a perfect childhood. I had perfect parents and grandparents. They just love me, simply. So I have no fears.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.

I didn't really want to act. Gerard Depardieu discovered me when I was 14 and asked if I wanted to make movies and I said, 'Why not?

When I was shooting with Tarantino and Mike Mills and amazing directors, it made me think that I would never be a director. It's obviously too hard.

I'm not a crazy old cat lady!

I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.

I never took any theater lessons. So when I started to do movies, I was 14.

Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.

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

There are a lot of French actresses who just hate me now. I've made enemies.

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

When you make successful movies, everyone on set takes care of you, everybody is so nice and you disconnect from reality.

When I think it's good not to say the truth, I don't say anything. I don't like actors in general, they lie, they are liars, trust me.

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.

France is an old country that needs to wake up.

It's so French to be a cat person.

A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.

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

I'm not scared of growing old, I'm just scared of not achieving everything that I want to do.
