I'm standing all the way through the piece, very stiff like a tree, very much rooted in the earth, ... It's like she was wishing to die standing, to die alive. It's a strange feeling.

Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture.

Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.

For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top.

Going through this musical experience really helped us to understand the core of the film.

Yes, it happens very often that someone comes and gives you something, ... But not so many good ones, which makes it easier.
