Emmanuelle Beart Quotations

Beauty is not something you can count on. Usually, when people say you are beautiful, it is when there is a harmony between the inside and the outside.

I wouldn't say I was a rebel as such, but I certainly wasn't right at school.

It is not easy to age in harmony with one's roles.

It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema.

My body is an instrument for me to use.

My looks mean nothing to me. If anything, they are a hindrance.

The body, in 'La Belle Noiseuse,' was the source of the artist's creativity.

There are a lot of films where I play characters that are about the windows to the interior person rather than the exterior.

For me, I don't feel it is a success in the career to be the pretty woman; career success comes from being characters who tell us something about the truth.

I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.
