But it wasn't just a technical approach towards the piano, studying the music for this film was also a way of approaching the soul of the film, because the film is really about the soul of Schubert and the soul of Bach.

More quotes by Isabelle Huppert
One job is to be an actor, the other job is to be a spectator.
Isabelle Huppert
Once you have made the decision to do the film, once you have identified the desire and all the deep and personal, intimate, artistic reasons why you want to do the film, then it's more a matter of how to do things
Isabelle Huppert
But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.
Isabelle Huppert
To be here and now, in principle, is just for once. And then you have to repeat that.
Isabelle Huppert
The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.
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
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.
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
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
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.
Isabelle Huppert
Like all school students, I think I did a play in my school. The common things, I would say. Nothing really exceptional.
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
Sometimes maybe children also fulfill their parents' secrets desire.
Isabelle Huppert
Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
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
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
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
I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way.
Isabelle Huppert
Of course you have to create the conditions of a certain belief. And maybe ignoring something that you don't want to see, at least for the time of the shooting.
Isabelle Huppert
