I've been a fan of noir films since I was in high school.
I never liked filming the ads, but they were so well received.
What switched me to films was the flood of American pictures into Paris after the Liberation.
It was really hard to find another project after my first film.
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
I have been involved in some films other actresses would not have done.
What goes down on film is different to what you see with the naked eye.
It is so exciting to get a phone call saying you're going to be working on a Disney film.
Directing has completely changed the way I write and watch films.
I did loads of student films and fringe theatre. I worked for free a lot.
No film critic's going to say it, but 'Madagascar 3' is better than 'The Artist.'
With films, you completely immerse yourself in a character, get into who they are, live it and then release it.
The idea of a film staying in theaters for a year is something of a fantasy today.
I've only used my own voice about four times on film.
I will only do a Hollywood film when there is something special offered to me.
If I'm really honest, I'm not a huge fan of scary films.
All of my films have been autobiographical - it's all I've got to go on.
It's easy to make a film, but it's hard to make a career of being a filmmaker.
This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.
My dream is to continue filming until my body tells me to stop.
I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.
