More quotes by Isabelle Huppert
I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.
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
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
I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.
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
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
I never had any barriers coming from my family. Just encouragement.
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
Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture.
Isabelle Huppert
But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.
Isabelle Huppert
The choosing of a role is so difficult for me. That's the real challenge: to choose the role, not to do the role. Once you've chosen them, the process is much easier.
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
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
Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
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
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
Perhaps Europeans are a bit more skeptic whereas Americans are more believers.
Isabelle Huppert
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
One job is to be an actor, the other job is to be a spectator.
