Audrey Tautou

Born in Beaumont, France

“I don’t know where I’m going to be in three years.  Because I have the feeling that the future is so full of possibilities, to stop being an actress, to do something else...  for me, the future is just a huge bunch of discoveries.”

“After each experience, you grow up, you get enriched with something, and you don’t know how you’re going to be in six months, you don’t know what you’re going to want, what you’re going to need.”

“I wouldn’t mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don’t want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.”

“In France we have a law which doesn’t allow the press to publish a photo that you didn’t approve.  It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper.  So me, I always sued them.”

“I never want to do the same things twice.  I like surprises.”

“I’m not sure I’m quite ready to have someone be a prospector of jobs for me, because I believe there’s some kind of destiny involved with meeting people...  some things are just meant to happen.”

“People in France are very intrusive when they recognize you.  In New York, they are very polite, with quick words, so it’s great.”
