I am a voyager - and the voyage cannot mean that I stay at home.

I am an actress, I earn money, I am well-known. I don't think it is altruism to become engaged in humanitarian work. It's the least one can do.

Today I would say, 'I am against plastic surgery.' It's a grave act. An act that touches our soul. It was frightening.

I think my best work has been in France with great men. It's been my great fortune to work with really great men - with Olivier Assayas, Raoul Ruiz, Jacques Rivette. I am tutored by them.

Of course I am political. You 'ave to be don't you? Every day it is about your future, your right to that future. 'Ow can people ignore this? We 'ave to leave a good world for our children, n'est-ce pas?

My looks mean nothing to me. If anything, they are a hindrance.
