"I`m not scared by nudity, because for me, nothing is more beautiful than a body. You can have such an amazing emotion from a body. In Irréversible (2002), I treated my body like it was an object and it`s great when you can have this kind of relation with your body, it`s a part of your job, an object you can work with. When you can have this kind of freedom it`s the moment where you can give your best as an actress".

And that was the approach to teamwork on that film.

If I had a failure, I wanted it to be my failure. If I had a success, I wanted it to be my success.

I`m not cynical. I`m merely stating a fact. Most filmmakers` entire body of knowledge is of other movies. When they describe things, they describe them in relation to other movies.

We look forward to the national office reviewing the matter and remain confident that the majority of our nurses` voices will be heard.
