Zitat des Tages von Lea Seydoux:
I don't really wear makeup every day. I feel like being an actress - we wear a lot of makeup - but when I am not working, I need to let my face breathe and be very comfortable.
When a director you admire says that he wants to work with you, it's always a compliment, very good for your ego.
I find it hard to be joyful on screen because I'm so tense.
I like to learn things from other cultures. I'm curious. It's exciting to be in an unknown world, in a way.
For me, cinema's like a language - everyone has their own form of it.
I think that I'm shy and I judge myself. But at the same time, I also have big contradictions. I can be sometimes sure of myself as well. I'm not always fragile and vulnerable. I can feel tough and strong.
I'm not reading reviews and critics. I don't care. I guess I'm still a little on my own planet.
This is why I became an actress. So that people will take care of me. To be an actress is a refuge. You are taken everywhere, stay in wonderful hotels, everyone looks after you.
It's a misogynistic world. It's because of what we ask of actresses. We ask them to be sensitive, fragile, desirable. And men? We ask them to be strong and virile.
Actually, I started to become an actress because I met someone who was just a friend and I found his life wonderful, I thought, Oh my god, you can travel, you're free, you can do what you want, you're the boss. And then I met an actor and I was in love with him.
I don't have any preconceived ideas of myself. I just take things as they come.
I would love to take more risks - have pink hair - but it doesn't look right on me.
I see society as something dangerous, and you have to save yourself from the rules. I think acting is the way I save myself.
I see that people now recognize me in the street. But it doesn't change me in the depth of my being.
I found it hard to express myself in the world. I was very shy. I'm still very shy. But also, when I was a child, I could get very... I had this violence... I still get angry. But I don't break things; I'm not hysterical.
