"It’s never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer." ― Juliette Binoche Topic(s): Famous More From Juliette Binoche "Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it’s just an illusion." "Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life." "I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way." More In Famous "I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I’m up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press."― Eric Clapton "The excitement for me lies not so much in interviewing the hard-to-get famous person, but the person whom you are about to discover. You know, like maybe the character actors who are just coming into their own and you’re realizing how great they are."― Terry Gross "We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free."― Jiddu Krishnamurti
