“I come from a Catholic religion, but I’m not Catholic.”

I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting.

I didn’t have familiarity with children. I’m learning day after day, with her [daughter]. And what impresses me the most is that she, Deva, is an individual person. But in miniature, she seems to be a special effect.

If you have a script that’s not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who’s not good, never are you going to have a good movie.

I think the lawyers are such incredible actors. Can you imagine the performance they have to do every day?

I have always loved lipstick. For women, that love comes from our mother and grandmothers. It’s so natural for a woman to open up her mirror and apply lipstick.

We all need illusions. That’s why we love movies.

Personally, I find it romantic not to be with someone all the time; you don’t get used to someone or take them for granted.

After love, the man sleeps, while the woman reflects.

Do not hate the people who are jealous because they recognize that you are the best.

When people divorce, it’s always such a tragedy. At the same time, if people stay together it can be even worse.

I’m not a movie star. I’m just an actress.

Sometimes it’s more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.

When I have to go to Cannes, that is boring to me.

Irreversible is not glamorous at all. I try to do different things because I want to grow as an actress and I like to take risks

When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life.

Envy is human nature.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same.

I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.

In our best times everything turns into religion, all the world seems a church and the mountains altars.

Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

Religion is a byproduct of fear.

To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.
