'Singin' in the Rain' was the one for me. Yeah. I mean, Gene Kelly could just sway and never fall. He'd just sway and sway as he danced. Show less «

I was born in a suburb of Paris, and I grew up there until I was 16, so there were always a lot of barbecues, a garden, friends. Show less «

Nothing is ever for sure, but when something in love doesn't work from the beginning, it's never going to work. Don't push it. Show less «

I understand those who don't like me.

If your heart is in love, you can do anything.

Love is the strongest and most fragile thing we have in life.

Sometimes you could be in an unhappy relationship; you are very much in love with someone, but it's making you unhappy and you think things can change and you can work it out. Show less «

When you meet the love of your life, it's just obvious and natural and easier.

Women are the real superheroes because they're not just working. They have a life and everything.

It amuses me when I'm described as 'chic.'

As long as you're fully present in what you're doing at the moment, you're doing it.

The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny.

Life is like the ocean, it goes up and down.

Well, my type is obviously creative. Creative, with burning eyes and a pretty mouth.

I love what I do.

I'd rather sing a good lyric written by someone else than one of my own that is terrible.

It's not my style to judge anybody.

I don't like things set in stone.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.

You keep learning all the time.

I don't have the recipe for happiness, but I think the engine is simply having the desire.

I mostly want to be friends with my children.

When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.

I do sometimes strongly hope that in a past life, my most recent life before this, I was absolutely horrible, evil, hideous. Because otherwise - well, hell, to even things up next time around, I'm going to have to pay for this one, am I not? Show less «

My daughter loves singing above all else.

How many times do I have to repeat this: my childhood was fantastic.

I just like putting outfits together without much thought and seeing what the outcome is.

I don't have famous neighbours and if I did, I'd avoid them. I don't live the jet-set.

I realize how unique my path has been. And I'm thankful for that.

I liked to play dress-up.

I love the romance of 'let's get married,' but then, when you have it so perfect... I mean, I'm more married than anybody can be - we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it's something I can really do without. Show less «

It's a courageous thing to do something that doesn't have rules or limits.

I was for sure not prepared for fame when it happened.

You fall for who the chemistry is with.

The movies and the parts I'm being offered are becoming better and better.

My mum told me to have patience. It's about realising that when things aren't going the way you want them to, or you don't have inspiration, it will come. Show less «

Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves?

You know, when I eat three peas, I'm pregnant. When I visit a city, I'm buying a house.

People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself. Show less «

It's difficult when you want it all.

Fear can make all of us do the wrong things sometimes.

The songs from your childhood, when you hear them you get chills all over.

I hate, for example, whenever you hear someone say, 'You have work at being a couple.'
