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. I suffered a great deal at one time. I had to fight harder than others. Add to that my marriage to Polanski.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

I did great things in the theater. I did some nice roles, 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' or 'La Vie en Rose.' And I love my role in 'Frantic.'

From Emmanuelle Seigner

I don't like the idea of fitting into a mould so as to conform. What I like is the danger, the difference - being unpredictable.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

I think age is just something written down on a piece of paper. I mean, you come across 20-year-olds who are like old people sometimes. I've never taken much account of age throughout my life - my own or anyone else's.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

I don't really want to find myself face-to-face with 10,000 paparazzi. I just want to be comfortable.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

Everything in life, bad or good, makes you change and grow - happily, because if it didn't, we'd be machines.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

When my husband won the Palme d'Or in 2002, I wore the same dress two days in a row. My daughter said, 'Mom! Did you sleep in your dress?' But I think it's cool to wear the same thing. I have to feel comfortable.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

I've always been very good at convincing people. For instance, if I arrive in an airport and I'm in economy, I can always convince the guy to put me in first class.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

I've wanted to be Mick Jagger since I was 18. One of the things I love about music is that you don't have to be dependent on other people like you are in the film business. I hate being dependent on anyone. With my music, I can do whatever I want. I also think it's made me more relaxed as an actress.

From Emmanuelle Seigner

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.
