On fielding journalists' questions at runway shows in Paris:
"I would have very dumb answers because I didn't have anything to say. Not that I'm smarter with my answers now, but at least my vision of fashion has changed—it's actually an art, what designers do with the shape of the body."

On the gregarious 'Rust and Bone' cast:
"If we were shooting a party, we were at a party. It was kind of hard for Guillaume to contain us sometimes."

On her evolving career:
"I have the opportunity to travel in all these worlds, and that's why I wanted to be an actress. I wanted to go from a point to the opposite point—and that's happening."

On how motherhood has impacted her:
"Your priorities are totally changed, and for the best... I'm super cool now."
