Clemence Poesy

I don't know if I see myself as an actress for the rest of my life.

Acting makes you look at life and try to understand it in a beautiful way.

Actresses are so spoilt - we have someone who does our hair for us on set, so we don't know how to do it ourselves in real life. I know how to wash my hair and brush my teeth, but that's about it!

I feel so lucky that I live in a society that lets women be. I think that's the one of the biggest fights to keep having, is to fight for women to have the right to live their life the way they want to live it.

I think what is interesting in life is all the cracks and all the flaws and all the moments that are not perfect.

I just wear jeans, big motorcycle boots and T-shirts that are way too big for me. I like anything that has lived a little bit, that has traces of life on it. Knitwear that's a tiny bit too long because you've pulled it with your hands, or jeans that are starting to get holes.

I've been wearing jeans all my life. I remember my first denim as a kid because my mum used to buy me OshKosh overalls.

When it comes to fame, I am in a very convenient position. I live a very normal life.

I've always felt lucky because my parents included my sister and I in their cultural life.

I know London very well.

The more you live, the better an actor you are, but maybe I'd like to do something else on the side. Something to pay the bills as well.

I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York.
