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
A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.
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.
