Sophie Marceau quotes:

Mel Gibson would not be a good James Bond.

Even if I think in English, it's more a language of acting than French.

Mel Gibson would not be a good James Bond

It is something actresses need to go through and I think they look forward to being naked in a movie. I don't know why, but it is something you need to exhaust from yourself.

I find the subject of childhood fascinating. I explored this subject in Speak to me of love and I am curious about portraying the often painful transition into the adult world.

Acting is contained - you act for three months, then leave it - but writing is the act of creation. Writing is dangerous.

You know French means like sophisticated, well educated, so far.

It is something actresses need to go through and I think they look forward to being naked in a movie. I don't know why, but it is something you need to exhaust from yourself

When you direct your first film, you always start by telling stories that you are familiar with.

You can perform all kind of characters but you cannot change what people feel for you.

I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.

Acting is wonderful therapy for people. Instead of suffering for yourself, someone will do it for you.

What I am interested in is the present time.

Oh, I'm not English, I cannot talk on behalf of an English person. I'm French. I can say about French. They are quite emotional, though, and they talk about their emotions

Sometimes you choose the wrong actor, he could be the best actor ever, but hes not cast in the right part then it doesnt work.

I need the seasons to live to the rhythm of rain and sun.

And I think it's very rare to have good stories, well written comedies.

All I will say is that I'm playing a lot of different roles that, to be honest, are more interesting and demanding than any I've played before.

As you know it is a comedy so everything is a little bit pushed. That's what's funny about this kind of movie is you can laugh about the absurdity, and the bad side of life.

I felt sometimes too responsible as an actor because people promote violence or weird things that I don't want to be part of.

I think it's almost easier to make people cry than to make people laugh

Relationships are difficult. It's life. You love life, so you fight. You fight because you love. Otherwise, you wouldn't fight. You work. You don't want to die. Why life is a fight, I don't know, but gosh! It is.

So, sometimes, when I'm not happy with my performance and I have to think, I will think in English

There's no point living, if you can't feel alive.

To be honest I don't really know because I really didn't care when I was writing about mixing up reality with what was not reality.

You wouldnt kill me. Youd miss me!

Well it is sometimes difficult to act in another language
