"I met Erick Zonca five years ago at a short-film festival. When he came on the stage to get his prize, he said that I didn't know it yet, but he was writing his first feature thinking of me ... The character of Marie was such a great one: so emotional, so intense ... Isa was just a good girlfriend, a person who was passive ... it wasn't so different from what I have already done, so I wasn't sure I wanted to do it. I said all that to Erick, who said, 'No, no, I like her like that. I don't know how to explain it, but she's very generous and I like her.'
"I decided to trust Erick and to trust myself that I could find what could be interesting in Isa. He wanted me to be a kind of hippie person, with long hair that I had done before ... I really needed to change. So I cut my hair short ... But because he wanted to have the last word, he said 'Okay, go shorter ... make it really short.' Well, I was scared this time, but I did it." --Bouchez to Time Out New York, April 1-8, 1999.
