I grew up around the Luxembourg Gardens, so I guess that is my best memory. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
Acting in another language is great, and I’ve done that. But you can’t do it as well as you can do it in your own language. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
I never had the slightest desire to have cosmetic surgery – partly because I don’t want to look like an alien and partly because it’s nice to age in a way. Also, I think that if your soul is beautiful, then the rest of you stays beautiful. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
There’s a lot of good roles for men, always, and for very young girls. But for women, not so many. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
In France, I guess there’s something like a tyranny in mentalities – we accept success badly, beauty, money. People are certainly envious, and this creates negative energy. This is annoying.

My sister Mathilde is an actress, but more like a French Jennifer Aniston. She’s famous just in France. She’s very commercial and does big comedies. So, acting was part of my family, and that’s how I was raised. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
I come from a family of actors. My grandfather was like a Laurence Olivier with the Comedie Francaise. Since I was four I went every week to the Comedie Francaise. My aunt and grandmother were there, but my grandfather was a big star. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
Venus in Fur’ is very Polanski: you have the knife of ‘Rosemary’s Baby’; you have Thomas disguised as a woman as in ‘The Tenant,’ when Vanda puts makeup on him, it’s like ‘Cul de Sac’; the dress of Tess and other details that are very Polanski. He fell in love with the play because it was so much him. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
Sometimes when you do big movies, you can lose sometimes a little bit of soul. Emmanuelle Seigner Read Quote
