A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume. | | 101I think what is interesting in life is all the cracks and all the flaws and all the moments that are not perfect. | | 102I've been wearing jeans all my life. I remember my first denim as a kid because my mum used to buy me OshKosh overalls. | | 103I just wear jeans, big motorcycle boots and T-shirts that are way too big for me. I like anything that has lived a little bit, that has traces of life on it. Knitwear that's a tiny bit too long because you've pulled it with your hands, or jeans that are starting to get holes. | | 104I never hire a stylist. | | 105I think the people we meet in life and the loves of our lives are very, very important in what we become, like change us - when it's right, probably change us for the best. | | 106I am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they're saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial. | | 107I love fashion, and I've always wanted to do costume design, but I'm in jeans and T-shirts most of the time. | Design | 108When it comes to fame, I am in a very convenient position. I live a very normal life. | | 109I feel so lucky that I live in a society that lets women be. I think that's the one of the biggest fights to keep having, is to fight for women to have the right to live their life the way they want to live it. | | 110There are very few actresses who can grow old and still get exciting parts... I think it's very important for me to have wider horizons, rather than just waiting for calls. | | 111I think it is important to pass on the message to young people who are going through a difficult time with friends that it will pass. | | 112I had a grungy period and looked like a tramp for a very long time - my mum really hated it! I destroyed her entire '70s wardrobe by putting studs into everything - I thought I was really cool. But it's good to experiment - I even had dreadlocks at one point. | | 113I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York. | | 114I'm always curious about anyone who has enough passion to go onstage and say, 'This is what I'm really passionate about.' It's always worth listening to. | | 115Paris is where my family are, but it's not really home now because I have dear friends in London and dear friends in New York. | | 116I know London very well. | | 117I knew fashion was going to be part of my job, so I thought I might as well have fun with it. | | 118To embody a character, you have to lose all judgment about them. | | 119If I ever get married myself, it'll be in jeans. | | 120When it comes to photo shoots, there was a clear moment for me when I thought, 'I'm going to have to enjoy this because it's going to be a part of what I do.' | | 121I've always felt lucky because my parents included my sister and I in their cultural life. | | 122I wanted to draw and do costumes. I was prepared to train for that, but I needed something to do on my time off from high school, so I called an agent without telling anyone and started working with her. | | 123I'm always so impressed with these actresses with their perfect make up and hair and sometimes I'm very aware that I'm not like that. But I don't think I can do things any other way. I would be wearing a disguise if I started to apply that stuff. | | 124I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really. | | 125For me, it's about not being too aware of what you look like because if you are, you're trying too hard and I don't think that actually makes you look good... I've known from very early on that I don't look perfect. | | 126The more you live, the better an actor you are, but maybe I'd like to do something else on the side. Something to pay the bills as well. | | 201There is no moment where you can rest and think: 'Wonderful, I have that job now. I'm going to spend five years here.' There's a constant judgment on your work that's very strongly related to what you are. | | 202I constantly make fashion mistakes but I think it's good to take risks. | | 203Actresses are so spoilt - we have someone who does our hair for us on set, so we don't know how to do it ourselves in real life. I know how to wash my hair and brush my teeth, but that's about it! | | 204I've often been told that I'm a bit strange. I hear that pretty regularly, but it is not how I see myself. | | 205I feel like I'm extremely normal. I do have a bizarre face that's a bit out of proportion. I guess that's why some people see me as strange. | | 206In the '80s, I was the only one who didn't watch the shows about teenagers. I had to go over to friends' houses to see them. I still don't have a TV! | | 207I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks. | | 208I didn't want people to decide what I was going to wear and what I was going to look like and how I should behave. | | 209Acting makes you look at life and try to understand it in a beautiful way. | | 210I don't know if I see myself as an actress for the rest of my life. | | 211I believe you have to make things happen. | | 212I used to spend hours at night, downstairs, in front of the only full-length mirror in the house, standing on the table working out what I would wear to school the next day. | | 213I just love a girl in a hat. It's really sexy. | | 214 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
