"My work method is very cerebral. I like to know everything about the character I'm going to play. I try to get in contact with her conscience, with the way she is and how she behaves, then I add some of my own life experience."

"As a blonde, I felt very organized. As a brunette, I was more like myself. I had the impression it expressed my violence better."
[about shooting nude scenes for The Dreamers (2003):] "I am a very shy person in life, very reserved, but you know, it's Bertolucci. I've seen Last Tango and it's not pornographic, it's not vulgar, it's not sick, so I trusted him. He's a master of love and eroticism, but it's good because I stopped being self-conscious. I felt like I was on drugs or anaesthetised because you have to be. You have to let yourself slip away and forget everything, forget the sound guy and all that." [February 5, 2004]
[about the sex scenes in The Dreamers (2003):] "It must be very shocking for the American people, but what I don't understand is why they are so crazy about that. I don't understand why you can't see naked people on screen but we can see a baby being killed. It's quite strange. They're too puritan, too uptight." [February 5, 2004]
"My mother thinks acting is a cruel profession. And for years, I wouldn't even acknowledge to myself that I wanted to be an actress. I was afraid of measuring up."
"It's a way to exteriorize all my shit. To scream and cry and laugh on-screen, it's almost like black magic. You can do anything. I'm a dreamer, so that's a good job for me. Onstage is the only place I can fully express myself."
"For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I'm not working, I'm always living in my own world, imagining characters."
"At drama school I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions."
"Onstage, every night you create something new. Plus, you have your audience right there - it's like performing for the gods."
"I'm just an actress. I want to keep the mystery. I mean, I know today that we have to talk about our private lives, and if you want to see me on the toilet, it's the same thing as talking. I don't know, I think that it's killing all of the mystery. The actresses in the '30s and '40s didn't talk about their private lives, and I think that it's much better if you keep the magic."
"I am many things. I can be quite mad, and young, but I'm not the kind of person who goes out to nightclubs and goes crazy. I am more like lying on my bed and listening to classical music to relax."
"I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders."
"I don't want to be a Hollywood star. I just want to do my job and enjoy it. My aim is to find my true identity and to remain true to myself."
"I'd rather be thought as an international actress rather than a French one. Because I don't know what's coming up for me, my ambition is not to be typecast. So I'm working on my English accent, as well as my American one. I don't want to be like 'Okay, I'm French, and I want to succeed in Hollywood!' Juliette Binoche has set a good example of what I want to do, because she works all over the world, and that's what I want to do as well."
"My work method is very cerebral. I like to know everything about the character I'm going to play. I try to get in contact with her conscience, with the way she is and how she behaves, then I add some of my own life experience."
"People say I'm a perfectionist, but I know that perfection doesn't exist."
"I am very self conscious of my body. I do not like looking at myself. I sleep in pyjamas. Even with my boyfriend, I can't sleep naked."
"God, I am not like a model or anything. You know, I'm very simple. I look, like, 12."
"I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body."
"I have a boring past actually."
"I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose."
"I don't like sexy outfits."
"I'm a fighter, not ambitious."
