More quotes by Isabelle Huppert
Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
Isabelle Huppert
I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.
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
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
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
But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.
Isabelle Huppert
I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.
Isabelle Huppert
Sometimes, an actress maybe knows how to think.
Isabelle Huppert
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.
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
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
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
A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.
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
One job is to be an actor, the other job is to be a spectator.
Isabelle Huppert
I don't think I'm that intellectual.
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
To be here and now, in principle, is just for once. And then you have to repeat that.
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
Like all school students, I think I did a play in my school. The common things, I would say. Nothing really exceptional.
