Juliette Binoche's Quotes

• Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life...I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
• When I returned to France after winning the Oscar, I was treated like royalty, or like a football hero!
• Giving birth is like a vase of beautiful flowers. Only you're just the vase, and only for a very short moment. The flowers are beautiful, but they belong to themselves, not to the vase.
• "I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women".
• "I knew I had become a star when I shook hands with Simone Signoret at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. She died four months later".
