“I'm not the same person as when I was 15 and I might not be the same person in ten years.”

“I was very anti-French everything for a very long time.”

“I avoid tea and especially coffee as it tends to give me anxiety.”

“I use a Kiehl's spray when I fly. Your skin gets so dry on a plane. And I always have to have a little glass of wine. I'm French! I have to. It's part of my life.”

“I always say I can only talk about what I know and the people I know.”

“I tend to babble, which is quite bad.”

“It was great growing up with my dad as a hairdresser - you get free haircuts! We always had amazing shampoos, too, but I knew it wasn't my thing. I get too lazy to use them.”

“I know Paris is my hometown, but I would never say, 'Oh, I'm going home back to Paris.' Because we kept moving when I was a child, my home was just where I was at that moment.”

“I used to have a fear of singing. It was something I never really liked very much.”

“If you choose as a woman to work in cinema, the roles are smaller, not as diverse, and sometimes not as exciting. So when you try to have a conversation to say, 'This part is lacking in this or that,' or, 'I don't understand who this person is,' or, 'Why is she in this story?' people are very afraid of that.”

“I don't watch horror movies - they freak me out.”

“I guess I get to make films and I love what I do, but there's also the downside of having to be constantly present and do a lot of press, and go to festivals and do the red carpet. And that's something that's more and more part of an actor's job.”

“Maybe I should be making more mainstream films if I want to get some money.”

“I love a bit of pop music. I'm a big sucker for it.”

“We glamorise violence as much as we do celebrity. I think the two are intrinsically linked now and that's quite scary.”

“I want to work until I'm old and wrinkled.”

“I have anxiety a lot of the time. Maybe it's not anxiety, maybe it's an adrenaline thing.”

“The Night House' was a crazy shoot.”

“I actually hate it when I forget to put on perfume. It's become a part of my routine and something that represents who I am. Not visually or vocally, it's another level. If I forget, it feels like some part of me is missing.”

“I think changing routine is something that actors like.”
