Eva Green

Eva: People say I'm a perfectionist, but I know that perfection doesn't exist.

Eva: I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.

Eva: I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body.

Eva: My mother thinks acting is a cruel profession. And for years, I wouldn't even acknowledge to myself that I wanted to be an actress. I was afraid of measuring up.

Eva: Onstage is the only place I can fully express myself. It's magic.

Eva: At drama school, I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.

Eva: For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I'm not working, I'm always living in my own world, imagining characters.

Eva: I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.

Eva: I don't want to be a Hollywood star. I just want to do my job and enjoy it. My aim is to find my true identity and to remain true to myself.

Eva: (On Daniel Craig, after they filmed "Casino Royale" together) Daniel is a real gentleman, and he's a real actor. He's not all in the head, you know, he's very visceral, plays with his guts and he was very paternal, very reassuring. Like a nice daddy.
