Juliette Binoche Quotes

It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don't hanker for it.

The people who ask me for my autograph are the people who've put me here today, and you can't afford to forget that.

I've been been on the cover of TV Guide, on every single talk and entertainment show except Letterman. It's interesting being older and dealing with this kind of success. I'm more appreciative of it now, and I don't take it for granted.

You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before.

I didn't work for a couple of years after the Oscar because everybody kept offering me bad versions of Lynda Dummar.

My fame? Truly I don't consider myself famous...long way to go yet. But if anyone does ask for an autograph it's a wonderful feeling.

I never tried to crossover or be in the public's eye everyday. I'm laid back with it and at times I wondered if I was doing the right thing promoting myself staying back a little bit and coming out when I felt that I had too. But when I get all the accolades and hear the things people say it just puts it all together for me man. It's a blessing.

I'm not in a real rush to be a big star.

I'm not a hero or a superstar. I'm an everyday guy. I feel happy when children approach me. I feel that something good is happening in life when little kids recognise me.

Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful.

I used to beg for auditions. Now, they're being thrown at me.

It's so ironic - when you finally achieve recognition, you hide behind dark glasses.

The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.

If you do good work, you start to make a name for yourself and things can come around. Weird little happenstances happen.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.

It's interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man... life-changing, but I'm just me within that. It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before.

As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.

I am not unhappy that my contribution was not recognized. I am sure it helped my career.

It's flattering to people who stop you and say that you've helped them and all. But, again, you know, you've got to stay humble because as quick as you came up, you can come down.

However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.

I see film roles as lovely presents that come along now and again. I feel really lucky and say thank you very much. And if they fly me to L.A., I think, 'God, I must really be doing well.' I've worked with De Niro and Brando and Pacino, and that's made me feel very lucky. But the films have never meant a lot to me.

The year you win an Oscar is the fastest year in a Hollywood actor's life. Twelve months later they ask, 'Who won the Oscar last year?'

It looks like I've been smart about it, but truly, I've been incredibly lucky to have the right people notice me and want to work with me.

My failures had a lot to do with my fame. I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.
