I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

More quotes by 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
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 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
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.
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
I don't believe in coincidence.
Juliette Binoche
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
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.
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 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
When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.
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
For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
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
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
I am not a woman staying at home.
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 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
My aim was never to be an American star otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.
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
