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
It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.
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
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
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 live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
Juliette Binoche
Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
Juliette Binoche
My only ambition is to be true every moment I am living.
Juliette Binoche
I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
Juliette Binoche
You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.
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
Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.
Juliette Binoche
You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.
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
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 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
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
Juliette Binoche
I would say I'm humanly engaged.
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
