I Wasn't Born An Artist. I Was Really Good In Science As A Kid. I Probably Shouldn't Have Been An Artist Because I'm Much More Interested In Science. But I Was Raised By Artists. I Can't Really Escape It.

Feminists Is Something People Hate Above All. Nothing Worse Than Being A Woman In This [movie] Business. I Really Believe That.

I've Never Had Help From Anyone, Ever. I've Never Had This Great Director Who Saw Themselves In Me, Because I'm A French Woman In Hollywood. Who Could Identify With Me As A Successful Director In Hollywood? Nobody. And The Few People Who Could Have Been Mentors, Instead They Just Stole My Ideas.

I'm Not Going To Pursue It The Way That Actors Pursue It Which Means Going To All Of The Auditions And Getting A Job And All That Stuff, Because I Don't Really Need To Get A Job Because I Have A Job As A Writer/director. That's How I Make My Living Mostly Now. So I Don't Need To Make A Living As An Actress.

The Camera Can Move, You Can Make The Shots, Blah Blah Blah, But As Long As The Actors Are Good, You Have Something.
