Filmmaking is not about gender. You cannot ask a president in a festival like Cannes to have, like, five movies directed by women and five by men.
You don't sleep anymore, but at the same time, you have this strength that comes from this life that has just arrived. It's a big cliche how your priorities change, but every parent knows that sometimes there's a thunderstorm, and you look at his eyes, and everything is all right. It is a revolution of everything you feel.
I've worked with people who wanted to be creative every day: it was like a goal to arrive with something very special. Sometimes it's just disturbing, because special is good when it's needed. But when it's not needed, it's confusing, and you go away from the authenticity by a strong desire to be unique and singular.
Michael Fassbender is just a creative force: he finds authenticity in singularity with what he brings, and it's always authentic. He doesn't try to be creative and different for the sake of it.
It was right after I did Piaf, 'La Vie en Rose'. I started to take singing lessons and finding where I could go.
I am not very good at expressing myself in a simple way so it can create mis-understandings and I hate that.
