My parents sent me to Montreal because I kept getting kicked out of school in France.
Emmanuelle Beart
I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.
Emmanuelle Beart
My looks haven't prevented me from playing prostitutes or people broken by life. But when they need a token blonde with big breasts, that's OK, too. It's part of the game.
Emmanuelle Beart
We've all had that fear, that despair of losing someone, or this fierce desire because it's not reciprocated. The less reciprocation there is, the more desire we have.
Emmanuelle Beart
My body is an instrument for me to use.
Emmanuelle Beart
I had my mouth done when I was 27. It was a botched job. Obviously, if I had liked my mouth I wouldn't have had it re-done.

Very often with an American movie, the end is very happy and you just feel good when you go out. When you go to a French movie, it's kind of like, oh!, and you can't go out you're stuck in your chair. It goes so deeply inside of the heart.

I keep reading that I'm cold. But I'm not, I'm shy. And I play a lot of women of fire and sexuality like an animal - so I'm cold on one side and fiery on the other.
Emmanuelle Beart
I feel better in my body now than when I was 20. Why not?
Emmanuelle Beart
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.
Emmanuelle Beart

Emmanuelle Beart
Once I opened my eyes to the realities of life, I couldn't close them.
Emmanuelle Beart
I give everything I have to give on the screen. I feel I don't owe the public anything else.
Emmanuelle Beart
I'm less desperate now to express what's inside me, that's true - I act these days because it keeps me awake and interested, an eternal student.
Emmanuelle Beart
The body is an actor's tool, like the face, malleable. I never thought that being naked was immoral or outrageous.
Emmanuelle Beart
If a man or woman has something redone it is because he or she can no longer live with that part of their body, it is no longer bearable. Either they get help and find the strength to fight or they proceed with the act.
Emmanuelle Beart
I don't give a damn about Hollywood.
Emmanuelle Beart
There are moments when you feel that the desire to work is fading, and the only way to bring it back is to get away from it, to put yourself in a state of frustration so you feel the need again.
Emmanuelle Beart
Often, when you see yourself on the screen, you feel like a sweater that's been put through the washing machine. You have the impression of having done something full and luminous, and suddenly, when you see it on the screen, it's turned back into a tiny little thing.
