More quotes by Juliette Binoche

Image
I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I need relationships, but sometimes when I am in one I feel claustrophobic. It is about feeling that I still have my freedom, that I have choices. I don't look back on the past because I like to live in the present. I know this makes some people think I probably never cared, but I need my freedom and I like to keep moving.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
Juliette Binoche
Image
As an actress, I think there is always a political consciousness there.
Juliette Binoche
Image
It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.
Juliette Binoche
Image
When you really put your heart in the work, you don't think of how you look. And I think that's the beauty of it.
Juliette Binoche
Image
When I'm in the movie, I'm entirely in the movie. When I'm on the set, I'm 200 per cent there when I'm at home, I'm 200 per cent at home.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
Juliette Binoche
Image
In a building with apartments, of course, you want to make connections. Life is easier that way. There's salt if you don't have salt you can knock at someone's door, like in any city. But you know, you can hear the others, and you want to sleep, you get annoyed.
Juliette Binoche
Image
The thing is that I never felt beautiful. I really never did. I think I can change my looks and be different things, but I've never thought of myself as this face.
Juliette Binoche
Image
My aim was never to be an American star otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.
Juliette Binoche
Image
The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I'm very patient and always willing to try things but I have some resistance as well because I have my own vision. I have resistance sometimes because I see a director who's freaking out and wants to have control and they sometimes anticipate about what I'm going to be doing or not.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I have stories that I'd like to maybe one day consider directing, but you need a lot of time to write and put it together.
Juliette Binoche
Image
Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It's not that I'm pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don't stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I'm a fighter as a mother. I'm fighting to be a mother, but I cannot say no to my passion because it's me, as well.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I am not a woman staying at home.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I want to know why I'm alive. I want to understand. It's like exploration it's like someone being interested in a place and its history, digging into the earth and looking for it, searching - it's a passion.
