Quote

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.

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

You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.

When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.

Image
I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.
Juliette Binoche
Image
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
Image
I'm a fighter as a mother. I'm fighting to be a mother, but I cannot say no to my passion because it's me, as well.
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.

Image
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.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

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.
