"A character exists at the moment. I don't want to know their background." --Virginie Ledoyen quoted in TIME OUT NEW YORK, October 31, 1996
"I don't want to project the image of a glamorous girl." --Ledoyen to DETAILS, February 2000
"I've always loved the cinema, and whenever I see Jennifer Jason Leigh I'm moved. But it's not like I want to be her, because if I try to be someone else, it's not going to be my life." --Ledoyen to VANITY FAIR, September 1999
"My father sold all sorts of things--knives, household objects. Selling on the [Paris] markets is kind of theater, a real art of persuasion. Perhaps my desire to become an actress started there." --Ledoyen in US, February 2000
"People say I'm very tough, but I'm not sure I am. I do like to play girls who are independent, who have a lot of character and a story to tell. They just aren't there to be pretty." --Ledoyen quoted in THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 1, 1996
Ledoyen is secretary general of "Pour le Tibet", a charitable organization that brings medical aid to Tibetan centers in the Himalayas and North India. In the spring of 1997, she spent a fortnight in India to learn more about the needs of the people there.
On acting as a child: "It was a hobby. It was very exciting because I liked to wear make-up and costumes and being with adults. But I never thought being an actress was work, because it was so funny and pleasant. I thought work should be hard and tough. I didn't realise what I was doing." --Virginie Ledoyen quoted in the London TIMES, January 8, 2000
