Juliette Binoche Quotation    (1964-)

 

Giving birth is like a vase of beautiful flowers. Only you're just the vase, and only for a very short moment. The flowers are beautiful, but they belong to themselves, not to the vase.

 

I knew I had become a star when I shook hands with Simone Signoret at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. She died four months later.

Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.

 

Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life...I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.

 

I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Maruerite Dumas and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.

When I returned to France after winning the Oscar, I was treated like royalty, or like a football hero.

 

French women bloom at 40! I can't wait.

 

My earliest memory is loneliness. That's a hard thing to live with.

Going to South Africa (Country of My Skull 2003) has changed me utterly. I have seen and heard about acts of cruelty and hatred which are hard to comprehend. But I've also seen peace and tranquility like nowhere else on earth.

 

What makes a person sexy is when he's not trying to be sexy.

 

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

 

If a star is someone who gives light, then I can be a star. But if a star is someone who goes after money and magazine covers then it's sick and I don't want it.

 

I have been proposed to four times. Twice at the beginning of a relationship and twice at the end of a relationship. I've never said no. I just didn't give an answer.

 

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.

 

I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

 

I went to see a master of chocolate-making that I knew. When I used to go to my dentist in Paris, his shop was just round the corner. I remember getting in that shop and being fulfilled by that wonderful chocolate smell. I went to see him a few months before we shot the movie and asked if I could spend some time in the kitchen. It was just before Easter and he said come after Easter, I have so much work and I said no, I'd rather come before because I'd like to see the process.

 

Well, and also there's too much violence, you know? Violence just to have violence. Or sex just to be sexy--just to sell the movie. And that just makes me sick, and I don't feel like doing it. I think a film shouldn't be made for commercial purposes. It has to come from inside the producer, director, actors, writer and crew. It shouldn't be about what's on the outside, only about the inside.

这个博开了有一个月了,说好要上一个关于电影的类别也一直没上.我真是懒.

 

最近在baidu里碰上了一位热爱JB的同类.越发勾起了我做关于比诺什类别的欲望.不是碰到他,我还以为我会忘记这个法国女人...今年夏天的时候,我重新温习了基耶斯洛夫斯基的<蓝色>.在一个知了疯叫的下午,我一人独自坐在29寸电视机前反复地看这一部片子.结果就是我简直要被这个叫做"Julie"的女人搞疯掉.整整三天,我是上课也想睡觉也想,思考影片里的每一个镜头,每一场布光,每一个细节.那片蓝色久久萦绕在我心头.如何才能清晰地分辨爱与恨,生与死?抑或是爱就是恨,生就是死?后来,我每每看到比诺什那双褐色的眼睛,仿佛就掉入了生死交集的深渊之中...难过死了...

 

就是这部影片深深折服了我.建这个类别,贴些关于她的影片,望你我一同分享.
