I like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.
Juliette Binoche
Image
People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.
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.

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.
Juliette Binoche
Image
Some words, you know, it's amazing but some words would come only in French, and when I speak French, it would only come in English. And so the adjustment is very difficult sometimes.

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
I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I believe such illumination comes if you're open to the surprises the universe throws at you. You must be able to let go of the past, whatever success you may have seen, whatever your comfort, whatever your habits. To me, that's the key to loving life: Enabling yourself to step bravely into the unknown. Only there will you find yourself again.
Juliette Binoche
Image
You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.
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
Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I think the world would be much better if you always started the morning by calling the person you dreamt of during the night.
Juliette Binoche
Image
For me, acting goes to a special place it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.
Juliette Binoche
Image
Each new film is like a trial. Before I step in front of the camera, I do not know whether I am going to fall or whether I am going to fly - and that is exactly the way I want it to stay.
Juliette Binoche
Image
Maybe it's because my mother divorced and my grandmother divorced, so maybe I'm frightened deep down. But then I also feel there is no real need. Why do I need to get married? To reassure me? No I don't need reassurance.

Image
For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
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.

Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
