Isabelle Huppert's quotes

  • Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
  • I don't believe one ever plays characters, one plays states of mind. A character is completely meaningless to me. One goes through states of mind and tries to link them together.
  • [on Claude Chabrol] Claude didn't film me as a woman object of desire, but like a daughter, always in a simple way, intimate, very sweet.
  • Most of my characters are very, very ordinary women. Chabrol only ever cast me as fairly ordinary characters - they just have rather particular destinies. [2016]
  • In a close-up, a flicker of the eyelids is a major event. [2016]
  • [on working with new directors] Oh, it's just a bet I take, and I've rarely been wrong. All the directors whose debut features I've made in the past seven, eight years have turned out to be real film-makers - I have a good intuition. [2016]
  • [on the discrepancy regarding her year of birth] Don't go thinking that I'll help you out with that one.
