More quotes by 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
It was sometimes 60 degrees [Celsius], but it's very strange, cinema makes you forget reality most of the time. You are more concerned about your inner feelings, or your work.
Isabelle Huppert
Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
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
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.

Some roles are easier to choose, some roles are more difficult because they are more daring. Sometimes you have to dare.

Like all school students, I think I did a play in my school. The common things, I would say. Nothing really exceptional.
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 don't think I'm that intellectual.
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
Sometimes, an actress maybe knows how to think.
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
I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.
Isabelle Huppert
A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.
Isabelle Huppert
But someone like Claude Chabrol tries to make a connection between the society in which we live and the social reasons which make monsters out of some people
Isabelle Huppert
If on paper one would say, You're gonna spend three weeks in Death Valley, you say, No, I'm not going to be able to. Very often, very quickly you forget about it.
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
I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.
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.
