Léa Seydoux's quotes

• 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.
• [on her friendship with Blue Is the Warmest Colour (2013) co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos] It's true that it's a friendship, but there's love between us. You can say there's love.
• I like to play deep characters and it's nice to have deep emotions, but it's also nice to just have a distance and to have a sense of humor with what you do as well.
• [on her role in Saint Laurent (2014)] I had to become chic, yes. But it's more like a color in the film. It's a very small part. It's like the film is a puzzle and I will be one of the pieces. I prefer to be a small part in a great film.
• I had a big family, but I felt lost in the crowd. I was very lonely as a kid. Really I always had the feeling I was an orphan.
• [Grazia Magazine, France - August 2013] There have been moments where I've found myself pretty and sexy, but there are times when I find myself much less beautiful! A bit of a lesbian, you could say (laughs).
• [Grazia Magazine, France - August 2013] There have been moments where I've found myself pretty and sexy, but there are times when I find myself much less beautiful.
• I love challenge. I love to be afraid before a film, before acting. I think always I want to experience fear. I've become addicted to this feeling.
• [When asked about her son George, in an interview for Lady Fist] I want him to be better than me, a better human being. I want him to be more intelligent, I want him to be more cultured. I want him to feel free.
• I need to act, it's a necessity. I need to express myself through it and it's more like an existential necessity. I've always felt I had a melancholy inside me and that I had to just make that melancholy express itself.
• I do love sex scenes in cinema. Sex is part of life. It's not a bad word. I'm offended by violence, not sex.
• I have a body, I am carnal, I have dark circles. I don't want to erase it. And European cinema allows me to impose it.
• I have a feeling that I was made to be a part of cinema, that cinema was shaped for me.
• I think that nudity is beautiful. Sometimes it can be awful, but when it's beautiful? Cinema is the art about reality... It's art from reality. In french, we say l'art de la realite: you show reality, so you have to show bodies.
• Cinema really saved me from my sorrow. I've always felt like this. I had this melancholy in me as a kid, and I still carry it. It's something that I try to do in my films - transform that melancholy into something beautiful.
