I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.

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.

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.

If you're weird, it's good to be weird.

It's boring to be like everybody.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

I'm not ready to do any compromises for my work.

I can be maternal with my friends.

I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

I like movies that have strong personalities, and Michel Gondry is so creative that his films are always something special to watch.

When you decide to adapt some Russian novel, it's like everyone knows about it but nobody has read it.

I think that if you do an American movie it's important to earn some money, but in a stupid way, to be respected.

I don't really know Hollywood, and I think that L.A. needs a bit of time to really know the city, because it's such a huge city.

I'm not inspired by any career because I don't have any expectations.

I'm not sure that it's easy to find very interesting female characters in Hollywood movies.
