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.

More quotes by Juliette Binoche
As actors, we are so privileged to do what we do and to give to the world and to choose the subject we want to say to the world.
Juliette Binoche
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.
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
You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.
Juliette Binoche
I would say I'm humanly engaged.
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
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 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
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
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
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
I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.
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
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.
Juliette Binoche
My aim was never to be an American star otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.
Juliette Binoche
When you really put your heart in the work, you don't think of how you look. And I think that's the beauty of it.
Juliette Binoche
I think I am pretty much melancholic.
Juliette Binoche
The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.
Juliette Binoche
It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.
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
