"For me the whole thing was so brutal, so new. I felt extremely fragile. I didn't feel that I'd actually found my feet in the job I was doing. OK, I'd just begun, I had made a film which was good, but hey, I'm an actress and there are lots of other things which I want to do which don't really go with the 'star' image. I wanted to put on plays with friends, to go travelling. I knew there had been a big change, somewhere, but I felt it was really just the way that people were looking at me that had changed. It was their perceptions.
"But the apprehension before talking a role, the way of tackling a part, the way you behave on set - well, none of that changed. For me all that is exactly the same. That's my work, that's my pleasure and it is for that that I am paid. For the rest, the being a star, I don't get paid." - Tautou quoted in The Daily Telegraph, Oct. 2, 2001
"I don't care how much money they pay me. I'm not out to promote myself. I'm not ambitious. I'm anguished. I just want to act." - Tautou quoted in Talk magazine, October 2001
"The moment I saw Audrey I was sure she was the one. She had that innocence, that determination the character needed. She's an elf. And she had what I love in actors: precision, rigour, imagination." - Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the director of "Amelie" quoted in The Daily Telegraph, Oct. 2, 2001
