More quotes by Juliette Binoche
I was used to theatre classes. I studied with my mother she was a theatre teacher and directed, too, so it was very family-like. Then I studied with a great teacher in Paris, and she was wonderful she pushed me, but she was a warm soul.
Juliette Binoche
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
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
I like being a mother, and I want to be involved in my work, so I have to make choices. If you're a film actress, your career is from 20 to 45, but you can still dream.
Juliette Binoche
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
I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.
Juliette Binoche
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
Juliette Binoche
You have to have the courage to wait, to say no, ... And thats difficult. This job is very uncertain, and its frightening.
Juliette Binoche
My experience has nothing to do with creation, I don't think, even though maturity is helpful. In a creation process, there's an intuition that takes you and if it's nourished with awareness and experience, it's great.
Juliette Binoche
You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.
Juliette Binoche
I like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.
Juliette Binoche
Changing someone's life is not the best, is not wanting to change the other life. It is being who you are that changes another's life. Do you understand?
Juliette Binoche
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
Juliette Binoche
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.
Juliette Binoche
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
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
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
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
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
The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.
Juliette Binoche
