I am not a woman staying at home.
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.

Usually I love preparing. It's really the time I prefer, because it's a time of reflection and of possibility of growth - to let it cook inside.
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
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.

I take care of myself because I'm an actress and I have to take care of my body as it's my tool in order to give in films.

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.

When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.
Juliette Binoche
Image
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
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
Juliette Binoche
Image
You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.
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'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.
Juliette Binoche
Image
When I won the Oscar, there was something telling me 'this isn't the truth'. I had to get back to real work.
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
People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.
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
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
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
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.
