Emmanuelle Beart
Once I opened my eyes to the realities of life, I couldn't close them.
Emmanuelle Beart
I played football when I was little. I didn't want to be an actress at all, I wanted to be a majorette in an Australian circus. That was my ambition.
Emmanuelle Beart
Today I would say, 'I am against plastic surgery.' It's a grave act. An act that touches our soul. It was frightening.
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
If I have one thing perfect, it's my eyebrows. And my feet. I love my feet. They're like Japanese feet. The rest I would like to hide. Especially my freckles. I feel ridiculous.
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
I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.
Emmanuelle Beart
