I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.

Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.

You have to find the place where you abandon everything of yourself. Then you can let something else happen.

In a way, I don't create anything; I just open myself to the character, and the character takes over. Of course, I'm aware of it, and I'm driving it, but I don't try to control it. If I try to control it, it goes wrong.

I'm not a method actor, but I'm affected by the life I share my life with during shooting. It's always a very strange and special period for me.

As a teenager, I didn't want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.

I'm always very scared when I start a movie because I never know if I'm going to be able to do a good job or do a very bad job.

I think in friendship, you want to be there for your friend, and sometimes you just don't know what to do or the relationship you have with them is not clear enough for you to know what to do.

I never analyzed whether I had a style or whether I didn't. I wouldn't be able to describe my style or even tell if I have one or not.

I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.

Filmmaking is not about gender. You cannot ask a president in a festival like Cannes to have, like, five movies directed by women and five by men.

The first thing I have to do to erase my French accent is think that it is actually possible, whereas for the moment, I think it's not. I have a lot of work.

I came close to depression, but when I started to feel I could really lose myself, I somehow escaped it.

I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.

I was born in Paris and raised in the suburbs and then lived in the countryside.

Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered.

My team puts forward a selection of dresses, and I choose the one I feel most natural in.

I was never really interested in fashion before I started to work with Dior. I didn't see fashion as an art form.

I need to be on the same page as the director.

I'd love to work with Gaultier, and I'm obsessed with Vivienne Westwood.

I couldn't live without music. I experienced things through music in different countries where you cannot speak the same language, but the music and the dance relates everything.

I don't want to change the world; I want to evolve myself.

When someone would come up to me in the street, I would either run away or burst into tears. I didn't know what to do. I don't think you're ever prepared for this.

I've always had a repulsion going in a place where animals are in captivity.
