Eva Green's quotes

It's a way to exteriorize all my shit. To scream and cry and laugh on-screen, it's almost like black magic. You can do anything. I'm a dreamer, so that's a good job for me. Onstage is the only place I can fully express myself.
For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I'm not working, I'm always living in my own world, imagining characters.
At drama school I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.
Onstage, every night you create something new. Plus, you have your audience right there - it's like performing for the gods.
[About Sybilla, her character in Kingdom of Heaven (2005):] "Sybilla suffers from numerous frustrations. She's an heroine, not a "potiche".
I am many things. I can be quite mad, and young, but I'm not the kind of person who goes out to nightclubs and goes crazy. I am more like lying on my bed and listening to classical music to relax.
I was born and raised in France, but I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.
I don't want to be a Hollywood star. I just want to do my job and enjoy it. My aim is to find my true identity and to remain true to myself.
I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body.
I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.
[on acting] -- It doesn't satisfy me completely, this job. I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.
I feel sick if I have to do something for the money. I can't breathe. I'm not proud of myself.
[on auditioning for The Dreamers (2003)] -- I was bored with the theatre. I wanted to stop acting. I didn't believe in anything. But I did a lot of auditions to get the role. You can't turn down a role like that. You don't say no to Bertolucci.
[on Ewan McGregor] -- ... Ewan's brilliant - a really giving actor.
[on Jordan Scott, director of Cracks (2009)] Working with her was a real exchange - a real collaboration. She was extremely sensitive. The film looks almost unreal - like a fairytale.
[on Shane Meadows] -- I might need to get my hair dirty if I was going to be in one of his films. I hate it when people say "You're very beautiful." I feel very shallow. I want to be taken seriously, you know?
[on enjoying the moment] -- I know it sounds very clichÃ©d but it's true. I'm the first one to forget. Life is short - enjoy it. And do your best. Even if you fail, you've done your best.
Cracks (2009) is a very interesting project, quite unusual, and some of it is a bit taboo. It was interesting for me to show all those colors. It's quite a gift to give an actor, and it doesn't happen very often, so I was lucky.
It's so boring to play the girlfriend. Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man. It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character.
I'm very picky, I love falling in love with things. That's why maybe I don't work as much as I should. I need to really be drawn to the character and like the director.
A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.
It's not a job. It's almost like a faith or a religion. Every time, I give a bit of my soul.
I used to play the piano. I stopped when I was about 17. If I sat down at a piano now I could probably play one or two pieces. Maybe Chopin's "Nocturnes".
I was such a nerd in school that it's been a good exercise for me to be able to talk a bit about myself. I'm always scared of words in real life, if they're not on a page in a script. To talk about myself, I feel like, Oh, my god...
[on Artemisia, the character she plays in 300: Rise of an Empire (2014)] She's such an extreme character. I think lots of men are going to be scared of me from now on. I'm like a little bird in real life so that's why I enjoy playing those ladies.
[When asked who she'd like to work with - GQ Magazine UK, August 2014] There's so many but I love Matthew McConaughey, I think he's really intentioned and so interesting. I would also love to work with Marion Cotillard.
[on Johnny Depp] He's such a generous actor, a real gentleman. He's very intense and has the most intense eyes. He doesn't move, then like thunder his eyes are locked. He's very strong, he takes risks, very brave. He is amazing.
[on Johnny Depp] Johnny is a chameleon actor: He is very intense, very brave and he takes risks.
[Where do you go when you need to escape?] Paris - I'm French so I go there whenever I can. My parents have an apartment there - I feel like a child again when I visit.
When I'm feeling stressed, I either have a hot bath or I visit Mari Ryalen for a Tibetan massage. She seems to do something to my stomach that makes me feel much lighter and more centred. She has magic hands!
Traditional British desserts with lots of custard are my biggest weakness - I particularly love the puds at St John restaurant in East London.
I could live by candlelight. I hate artificial lighting and I'm really into candles. My mother is always like, 'Oh my god! It's like you live in a church!' My favourite candle is Cire Trudon Spiritus Sancti. It smells like incense.
I like the feeling of the sun on my skin, so I would have to say sunscreen [would be my desert-island beauty essential]. As high as possible - the one I'm loving at the moment is AvÃ¨ne SPF50.
I have been wearing the Melograno scent by Santa Maria Novella for years. I can't even tell you what I love about it. Friends often say to me, 'I smelled you before I saw you.' It's my signature fragrance, but it's very subtle.
I love dramatic, sultry designers such as Dior and Alexander McQueen.
[What would we find in your fridge?] At the moment I'm trying to be healthy so it would be lots of vegetables and protein - greens, chicken, salmon, fruit.
I exercise for an hour each morning with my personal trainer Tim Jones. We do a combination of strength and cardio. He really pushes me to do better. I always feel very proud of myself after our work-outs.
[My signature scent is] Midnight Poison by Dior. It's much lighter and more wearable than the original Poison, but still sultry and sexy.
In the evenings, I put olive oil all over my hair. It's very thick, and nourishes deeply, but it can stay on my hair even after shampooing, so I tend to use it when I'm not working.
Cate Blanchett is my icon. I think she's beautiful and an amazing actress.
People think I'm so strong, but I'm very shy.
I'm a secular Jew who never attended synagogue as a girl.
I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.
When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model.
I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.
It's true that I'm drawn to unusual stories. Normal roles don't really attract me.
Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.
I'm French, so I'm quite lazy about exercising, and I smoke. But I do love going for a run in the morning with my dog. That's all.
I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.
When I'm not working, I just like to be comfortable: I love black, nothing tight, no heels, no make-up - it's nice to be able to breathe!
[on performing nude] I am so shy, and, at the same time, I kind of expose myself literally to thousands of people. I don't really understand why I do that.
