Vanessa Paradis
The songs from your childhood, when you hear them you get chills all over.
I understand those who don't like me.
It's not my style to judge anybody.
I love clothes but I have spent so much of my professional life creating an image of one kind or another that it is nice not to care about it in life and let your skin breathe.
I'd rather sing a good lyric written by someone else than one of my own that is terrible.
Love starts with a gut feeling, but that gut feeling better be nourished.Collection: Feel Better
No fear... we are never sure of anything... fear never prevents [bad things] from happening.Collection: Fear
Youth is a question of energy.Collection: Energy
Having children changes your behavior. Your personality doesn't change, but you're more cautious of what you say and how you say it to start with-so that already changes things. My mind is not completely mine anymore. I used to be able to concentrate and achieve things. Now I find it much harder to focus, because it just seems that half your brain doesn't belong to you anymore. My kids are still little. Maybe it will change more when they're older, but I doubt it.Collection: Children
I am a complete sentimentalist when it comes to clothes. I have so many memories attached to them that I can't throw them out - I don't know where to put everything.Collection: Memories
I love the romance of ‘let’s get married,’ but then, when you have it so perfect … I mean, I’m more married than anybody can be – we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it’s something I can really do without.Collection: Mean
Once you're a mom, whether you're kids are next to you or far away from you, you're always a mom.Collection: Mom
You have work at being a couple.Collection: Couple
My job makes me travel a lot and too often I'm away from my children, but I don't ever stop being a mom inside my head and my heart. There is no higher love than that.Collection: Mom
I like the idea of reincarnation. I'm not a true believer, but I think the idea is beautiful, that life just doesn't stop. For soulmates, it's the term that I'm a little bit skeptical of. As soon as you put a label on something, it seems like that's it, you're done. Obviously I believe in love and making it last forever, but what's beautiful about that is you don't know if it's going to last forever. When you don't know that this is it, you, I think, enjoy it more.Collection: Beautiful
We [actors] are so lucky to do jobs that fulfill us and make us happy. We don't go to work thinking okay, we're working to put food in the fridge. We are doing that too, but we're working because we love what we do.Collection: Jobs
[When you are an actor] it's not a burden to go to work whether it's hard work, whether it's super early work, whatever. So, I go there because I want to be there. I want to do this. That helps a lot.Collection: Hard Work
Women are the real superheroes because they're not just working. They have a life and everything. I'm super lucky because I come home and I don't have to run errands and clean the house and do all that. Some women have all of this to do, too. And they manage and they live longer. How we do that, I don't know.Collection: Running
I'd love to be in a 1910s film - the era between the corsets and losing the corsets.Collection: Eras
If you're going to play a character who has a deformed face, you should have a deformed face.Collection: Character
