More quotes by 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
You have to have the courage to wait, to say no, ... And thats difficult. This job is very uncertain, and its frightening.
Juliette Binoche
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.
Juliette Binoche
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.
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
As actors, we are so privileged to do what we do and to give to the world and to choose the subject we want to say to the world.
Juliette Binoche
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
The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.
Juliette Binoche
I would say I'm humanly engaged.
Juliette Binoche
I am not a woman staying at home.
Juliette Binoche
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
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
People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.
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
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 like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.
Juliette Binoche
When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.
Juliette Binoche
You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.
Juliette Binoche
I think the world would be much better if you always started the morning by calling the person you dreamt of during the night.
