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

Image
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 like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.
Juliette Binoche
Image
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 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.

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.

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
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.

Image
I am not a woman staying at home.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I try to see my films just once. It's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.
Juliette Binoche
Image
I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.
Juliette Binoche
Image
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.

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.

Image
As an actress, I think there is always a political consciousness there.
Juliette Binoche
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.

Image
I think the world would be much better if you always started the morning by calling the person you dreamt of during the night.
Juliette Binoche
Image
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
Juliette Binoche
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
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.
