“I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a ch...” — Melanie Laurent Quote

I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

For me, it was a lot of pressure to make another movie after 'Inglourious Basterds' because I didn't want to do something wrong. I wanted to have a beautiful project for another American movie.

There are a lot of French actresses who just hate me now. I've made enemies.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

From 1970 onwards, our culture told both sexes that individual expression was paramount. And for women, that was defined as the right to choose an interesting a career, a high-status mate, the desirable handbag or vacation, the perfect family size, and a definitionally fruitless quest for 'perfection.'

I've always been a creative person since I was young. I enjoyed art, museums, plays, but it wasn't until I was about 10 that my mother encouraged me to choose a career, and it was acting.

Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want. You can choose to dumb yourself down and not express yourself just so you can fit in, just so people won't dislike you.

I can't control what people think about me or how they choose to remember me.
