“I live in Paris but I feel I am a daughter of Europe.”

Instead of going to the gym, I dress in black – a lot more practical and much more fun.

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

The good thing about social media is that we can connect in a different way that helps us not feel alone in this crazy world.

All animals, including humans, need to see the connection between action and consequence in order to learn or react appropriately.

I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it’s a good process because I love all of my music.

Only when we start to distinguish reality from fantasy that we can humbly, with eyes wide open, forge loving and sustainable connections with others.

Our ability to connect with others is innate, wired into our nervous systems, and we need connection as much as we need physical nourishment.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

Society is the form in which the fact of mutual dependence for the sake of life and nothing else assumes public significance and where the activities connected with sheer survival are permitted to appear in public.

It’s funny to see the people connect with Fast & Furious the way they do. I had no clue, I didn’t get it. And now, more I get it and I see it.
