More quotes by Isabelle Huppert
I don't think I'm that intellectual.
Isabelle Huppert
Well, my mother, she made me apply for a school where I was supposed to learn how to type. She said, well, instead of going to demonstrate she should at least [learn], because, everything was on strike. So we had to learn something in the meantime.

I never had any barriers coming from my family. Just encouragement.

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.
Isabelle Huppert
Sometimes, an actress maybe knows how to think.
Isabelle Huppert
I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.

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
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
Perhaps Europeans are a bit more skeptic whereas Americans are more believers.
Isabelle Huppert
A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.
Isabelle Huppert
But someone like Claude Chabrol tries to make a connection between the society in which we live and the social reasons which make monsters out of some people
Isabelle Huppert
When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do 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
For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top.
Isabelle Huppert
Some roles are easier to choose, some roles are more difficult because they are more daring. Sometimes you have to dare.
Isabelle Huppert
I was raised and I was going to school in the suburbs of Paris. And so we, I didn't really go to the riots, to the barricade. I was too young, actually. Rather young.
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.
