Léa Seydoux's Quotes

• [on her Les adieux à la reine (2012) character] What I liked about this part was that you don't know anything about her, and so I could invent everything. There is one moment that makes you understand everything about her, a character asks me 'We don't know anything about you...do you even have parents?' This for me was the key to build everything. That's why she's so fascinated by the Queen. It's through the Queen that she has an existence at all.
• I make films for directors. Before anything else, I choose films because of the talent of the directors. The story and the other actors are of course very important, but for me, it's all about the director.
• Five people I'd invite to my dream birthday party are Friedrich Nietzsche, Michael Jackson, Charles Chaplin, Maria Callas and Serge Gainsbourg.
• When I watch my films or read my interviews I come to know I have a very strange thing, I'm not easy to get.
• People are enthusiastic in America. They put heart into things. As soon as you get back to France people are picking on everything.
