Emmanuelle Beart

“I'm a worrier. I'm always thinking about the future. I'm always terrified of the future.”

“For me, acting is a question of absorbing other people's energies and transforming them into something else.”

“I am an actress. I am not a star. An actress is someone who is not herself.”

“The face is a canvas and I'm a painter. I'm a bit of a sorcerer.”

“Beauty is a violence.”

“It's always the same story: It's the fragility of the human being.”

“I am not afraid of aging. I am afraid of not living.”

“I think you can be an artist and a mom. I can do a lot of things.”

“I'm not an intellectual, but I have a good instinct.”

“Cinema is my country. I don't have another.”

“When I was young I was very close to my parents. I was very conventional. I was a good girl.”

“I've always been a very shy person.”

“If I had my mouth done, I wouldn't have been able to smile.”

“I prefer to be alive, so I'm just not going to get on a airplane.”
