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
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 don't think I'm that intellectual.
Isabelle Huppert

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
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 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
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.
