Life's too short to wear high heels.

At drama school, I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.

People think I'm so strong, but I'm very shy.

I feel sick if I have to do something for the money. I can't breathe. I'm not proud of myself.

To help people in the third world get educated and learn how to read and write is so important. I mean it is such an important human right.

Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.

Some people collect butterflies - I love beetles.

I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.

I've always felt a bit weird, very shy.

I've never been very good talking about myself.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I'm not into social media. I'm like from another century.

That is really the freedom that allows you to create something that is exciting because who knows what's true?

Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.

I've always felt like I'm from another planet.

I'm not really keen on men wearing perfumes. It's just a bit wrong! I don't find it sexy. I prefer essential oils - patchouli is nice.

We all show facets, to your mother, or to your boyfriend, or a friend. You're always a bit different.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.
