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.

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.

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.

It's pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.

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.

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.

I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.

I have a tendency to often share the point of view of the conspiracy theory.

An artist is maybe not always having a normal life.

I am not very good at expressing myself in a simple way so it can create mis-understandings and I hate that.

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.

I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.

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.

I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.

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.

I think we're lied to about a number of things.

I was born in Paris and raised in the suburbs and then lived in the countryside.

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.

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.

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.

Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.

What I like in this job is you can travel to many places, many imaginations.

When I was little, there were so many people in my house. Everyone was enjoying themselves, rehearsing, having fun. It was like a playground.

When you are abandoned by two parents as a baby - wow, that is something to live with.

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.

You don't really see yourself doing things, of course, but you feel.

You have to find the place where you abandon everything of yourself. Then you can let something else happen.

That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me.

Yes, I am Algerian of Moroccan origin through my parents, but all my life is Algeria. I was born there.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

The education of my brother and myself was of paramount importance to my parents, and in addition to their strong encouragement, they were prepared to make any sacrifice to further our intellectual development.

I belong to a specific category of writers, those who speak and write in a language different from that of their parents.

My sister and I were born in San Francisco. When our parents died, we came down here to live with relatives.

The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

That other saying, I'm a part of all that I have met, I think that would have to begin with my wonderful parents back in Atlanta when I was a youngster five years old I was tongue tied.

I have parents come up to me and say, 'I don't know who you are, but my kid wants his picture taken with you.'

Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.

Parents should watch what their children watch and not use TV as a babysitter. If a show is objectionable they should turn it OFF. They should write the president of the network and tell him they are never going to watch that program again and why.

I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908... his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children - in the backroom all together - and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

Parents know how to push your buttons because, hey, they sewed them on.

I always wanted to make sure my parents didn't have to work again for the rest of their lives.

I saw my parents as gods whose every wish must be obeyed or I would suffer the penalty of anguish and guilt.

Growing up, mostly in Montreal, I was an only child of loving parents.
