A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.

I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.

Holiday? Is like, what? I'm a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That's my perfect holiday.

From Melanie Laurent

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

From Melanie Laurent

I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.

From Melanie Laurent

I never took any theater lessons. So when I started to do movies, I was 14.

From Melanie Laurent

Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.

From Melanie Laurent

I never practice before, I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them, and after that, it's about the director taking your hand.

From Melanie Laurent

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

From Melanie Laurent

I don't really like those sorts of actresses who say, 'I don't want to make that movie,' but they make the movie. They just spend their time not liking being on a set and I just think it's absurd, because we are so lucky to do this job. When you accept to make a movie, just make the movie. And then it's more easy for relationships.
