I'm very interested in people, in general.

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.

I've received some English-speaking scripts, but I was not interested in them.

Usually, I read the script very often. I think that everything is hiding in the script.

You have to have the essential pleasure of making a movie. It's such a huge factor and adventure for a director because you really are the leader and the captain.

What I like about theatre is the responsibility you have with your character.

It's difficult to feel that people are looking at you in the street. I don't like the fuss.

I don't want to think my life as a career.

I'm not imagining me being the James Bond girl, because anyway I don't have the good maturation.

I like actors who are themselves. I know in America you like actors who change their nose or wear a lot of wigs, and they like to take pretty girls and make them super ugly.

It might seem paradoxical given my profession, but I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight.
