More quotes by 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
But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.
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
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 wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.

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
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
Like all school students, I think I did a play in my school. The common things, I would say. Nothing really exceptional.
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
A script is a very rough material in a way. Whatever questions you might have regarding the script, you might find the beginning of the answers in the book.
Isabelle Huppert
For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at!
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
One job is to be an actor, the other job is to be a spectator.
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
Sometimes maybe children also fulfill their parents' secrets desire.
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
Some roles are easier to choose, some roles are more difficult because they are more daring. Sometimes you have to dare.
Isabelle Huppert
I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.
