I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to work with some directors and some actors I wouldn't have dared to think I would work with one day.
Marion Cotillard
I think in friendship, you want to be there for your friend, and sometimes you just don't know what to do or the relationship you have with them is not clear enough for you to know what to do.
Marion Cotillard
My dad was a mime and then he had his company and created plays for children and was very successful with it.
Marion Cotillard
I'm not a method actor, but I'm affected by the life I share my life with during shooting. It's always a very strange and special period for me.
Marion Cotillard
My first kiss was in the geography room, where you put all the maps. I actually don't know how to say it in English.
Marion Cotillard
I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.
Marion Cotillard
It's a paradox to be an actress, living in the city, taking planes all the time, trying to find the right balance in this life, which is not so eco-friendly, and still try to respect the environment.
Marion Cotillard
I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.
Marion Cotillard
It was an amazing adventure, it was my dream to be in an American musical... I really hope you are going to love what you are going to see.
Marion Cotillard
My parents always told me that if you want something, you can do whatever you have to do to get it. As long as it's not against someone else.
Marion Cotillard
The first thing I have to do to erase my French accent is think that it is actually possible, whereas for the moment, I think it's not. I have a lot of work.
Marion Cotillard
It's pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.
Marion Cotillard
As a teenager, I didn't want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.
Marion Cotillard
When I was little, there were so many people in my house. Everyone was enjoying themselves, rehearsing, having fun. It was like a playground.
Marion Cotillard
My parents definitely sparked something in me. I'm sure of it. I saw how happy and fulfilled they were, and I knew I wanted the same job.
Marion Cotillard
When you are abandoned by two parents as a baby - wow, that is something to live with.
Marion Cotillard
You have to find the place where you abandon everything of yourself. Then you can let something else happen.
Marion Cotillard
When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it's really disturbing.
Marion Cotillard
I find it easier to play someone who is so far from me because you create someone - you build this person based on the story and the script, with the director.
Marion Cotillard
I'm always very scared when I start a movie because I never know if I'm going to be able to do a good job or do a very bad job.
Marion Cotillard
I don't think that I'm that sophisticated. Maybe I'm not aware of it, I don't know.
Marion Cotillard
I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.
Marion Cotillard
I didn't like anything about myself - my looks, my personality. I was very, very angry.
Marion Cotillard
If you search and search and stop searching, then ultimately you'll find what you need. It is the experience of living.
Marion Cotillard
I am not very good at expressing myself in a simple way so it can create mis-understandings and I hate that.
Marion Cotillard
Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered.
Marion Cotillard
When a script moves me, I find that I immediately understand a character. Of course not completely, but I do understand.
Marion Cotillard
I would love to go into an animal's dream - like a lion's or a cat's. I'm sure that's pretty awesome.
Marion Cotillard
I took piano lessons when I was like 5 or 6 but that was a long time ago. I stopped when I was 13.
Marion Cotillard
I don't have a favorite process. My favorite process is the right process for the person I am working with. I can fit in any process as long as the director respects who I am and doesn't try to put me in a situation to get something out of me - if I can give it without that situation.
Marion Cotillard
Insecurity is very common among actors. When I started giving interviews and talking to people that I didn't know, it was a nightmare. I've learned how to deal with interviews and insecurity; I've gotten used to it.
Marion Cotillard
As an actress, I always wanted to do movies, and I never dreamt about doing movies in America just because I didn't think it was possible.
Marion Cotillard
There is something strange about me. I don't ever feel at ease in a group of people. I have to fight hard to overcome my fears.
Marion Cotillard
I'm able to tell when I'm in a bad place or super-sad and move on. When you're stuck somewhere, you need to change something to shift the energy.
Marion Cotillard
I couldn't identify with anyone. At school, I was considered very strange. I didn't understand the relationships between people.
