I guess being French, I love Hollywood. I love Hollywood movies. Joseph Mankiewicz's 'All About Eve.' 'Mildred Pierce.'

I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.

Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies.

I'm very happy in France making movies.

I grew up watching a lot of French cinema.

When I was in the U.S. for 'Swimming Pool,' people had asked me, 'So are you going to settle down in Hollywood?' And I said, 'No, I'm French! I am living in France. I am not going to be American.'

I am Parisian. I don't love the French.

Hollywood is my domestic idyll.

I had always studied French and was obsessed with French films. I hated the way American films always had happy endings. I liked the way French films had dark and unpleasant characters; it was much more realistic.

I live in Hollywood, but you can't make me love Hollywood. I'll never love Hollywood.
