Cecile de France Quotes

I only do two things in my life, and that's take care of my kids and work. Fortunately, these are my favorite things to do, so it works out.

My day rotates around my family. I am very lucky.

I was never really a career woman. My life always came first.

I'm sure at some point I will get back into coaching, but right now I need to focus completely on my kids.

I don't work all the time. That's why I waited to have children until I was ready for that. I try to organise my time according to them because they need me. I don't want to put my work first anymore because it's not as important as my children.

I always feel like I want more time with my kids. But I reject the notion that you can't have it all. I think you can: just not necessarily in abundance.

I have to give importance to my personal life, my family, parents, and sisters. I hope I can strike the right balance.

Family and personal life always come first and career second.

Although I have a busy work schedule, I make sure I spend time with my family and create a balance between my work and family life.

Your personal life is something that's gonna last forever, and your career in stage, film, television, whatever, is not necessarily going to do that, so to keep the two separate's a very good thing.

I work, and then I leave the office, and I'm with my kids and just sort of enjoy them on a visceral level, and I don't feel like I'm exorcising my own deep ideas about parenthood and about how my life will come into play in my work.

I always separated sports and my personal life.

I've always said that kids should enhance your life, not hinder your life, so I just try to make the most out of being with my kids. You have to have a life for yourself somewhere in the mix of being a wife and mum.

Once you have a child, that becomes your life, and while that's the way it should be, I sort of have a love affair with my work. Having said that, many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.

Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don't want to grow old and have regrets.

I rarely get a moment to myself, but I love the way that my agenda is dictated by the children, not my work.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

I used to enjoy the spotlight. If I had a day off from filming, I didn't know what to do. Now I enjoy my family time so much, there is this sense of, if it all went away, and I was just a mom, I would love my life.

I am not someone who sacrifice all for the cinema, my life will be always more important.

I like to have fun, but I also try to make time for my son.

It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

I balance family and career by doing what makes me the happiest! That for me, without question, is putting my family and kids first.

I sort of spend every moment that I'm not working doing things with my son. You do the best you can, and you make the most of the time you have.

I never wanted the business to dictate my life. I'm sure I've sacrificed and missed out on a lot of stuff, but I don't know what that stuff is, so I just raised kids, and I wanted to be around for that.

My day starts with my son and finishes with my son, and in between, I get to do everything else.
