More quotes by Isabelle Huppert
But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.
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
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.

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
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 don't think I'm that intellectual.
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
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
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
I was raised and I was going to school in the suburbs of Paris. And so we, I didn't really go to the riots, to the barricade. I was too young, actually. Rather young.
Isabelle Huppert
Perhaps Europeans are a bit more skeptic whereas Americans are more believers.
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
