More quotes by Isabelle Huppert

I never had any barriers coming from my family. Just encouragement.

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
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
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
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
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
To be here and now, in principle, is just for once. And then you have to repeat that.
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
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.
