AWARDS AND NOMINATIONS



QUOTES

  • "I'm not proud of myself. I never watch me, thinking, 'Oh, you are (so great). You will be in ''this'' paper, ''this'' paper, ''this'' paper. You will have this many pages in this magazine.'"


  • "Acting is ephemeral. Without having an attitude, there are some more important things in life."


  • On becoming a character: "Usually, I read the script very often. I think that everything is hiding in the script. After, I try to get some information documents about the character, as much as I can know about her. After, I can imagine whatever I want."


  • Commenting on the casting of Audrey Tautou, producer Brian Grazer told '' Daily Variety '', "You get so much information out of Audrey's face and eyes that it's hardly surprising she's become one of the more esteemed actresses in France."
