More quotes by Isabelle Huppert
The choosing of a role is so difficult for me. That's the real challenge: to choose the role, not to do the role. Once you've chosen them, the process is much easier.
Isabelle Huppert
It was sometimes 60 degrees [Celsius], but it's very strange, cinema makes you forget reality most of the time. You are more concerned about your inner feelings, or your work.
Isabelle Huppert
To be here and now, in principle, is just for once. And then you have to repeat that.

Even for the most difficult scenes, and there are difficult scenes in the film, and because Michael Haneke is such a great film-maker - I think a great film-maker is not only being inspired, but how to do it, how to make it as real as possible, knowing that it's not real.

I've done many, many French movies and many, many English movies. I think it frees something when you don't talk in your mother language, but I also think you withdraw something as well. I'm a French actress, and sometimes I speak in English-speaking roles. For me, being an actress was always being a traveler. It goes together.

Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture.
Isabelle Huppert
You don't want to cry over yourself, you don't want to have compassion about yourself. It's not the right place.
Isabelle Huppert
I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.
Isabelle Huppert
I never had any barriers coming from my family. Just encouragement.
Isabelle Huppert
One job is to be an actor, the other job is to be a spectator.
Isabelle Huppert
I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal.
Isabelle Huppert
I don't think I'm that intellectual.
Isabelle Huppert
If on paper one would say, You're gonna spend three weeks in Death Valley, you say, No, I'm not going to be able to. Very often, very quickly you forget about it.
Isabelle Huppert
I know some real intellectual people who might laugh, very close friends who might laugh when I'm said to be an intellectual.
Isabelle Huppert
To me acting and doing movies is really strongly about the present time. It's all about when you do it. It's to create this feeling of extreme awareness and concentration. Because it doesn't happen without an extreme concentration, when you are completely immersed and focused on that.
Isabelle Huppert
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything
