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.

More quotes by Juliette Binoche
Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.
Juliette Binoche
Some words, you know, it's amazing but some words would come only in French, and when I speak French, it would only come in English. And so the adjustment is very difficult sometimes.
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 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
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 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 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
The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.
Juliette Binoche
I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.
Juliette Binoche
My only ambition is to be true every moment I am living.
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
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.
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
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
As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.
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
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
For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
Juliette Binoche
Changing someone's life is not the best, is not wanting to change the other life. It is being who you are that changes another's life. Do you understand?
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
