More quotes by 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
I would say I'm humanly engaged.
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
I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.
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
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
As an actress, I think there is always a political consciousness there.
Juliette Binoche
My aim was never to be an American star otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.
Juliette Binoche
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
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
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 like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.
Juliette Binoche
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.
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
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
Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.
Juliette Binoche
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
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
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
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.
