Num\u00e9ro: When Nicole Garcia was asked why she wanted to become an actress, she replied, \u201cFor a look that I wasn\u2019t getting.\u201d Is it the same for you?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Stacy Martin:<\/strong> To a certain extent perhaps. Let\u2019s say that acting has opened my mind \u2013 particularly through the discovery of wonderful plays by Chekhov and Beckett \u2013 and has allowed me the freedom not to be confined within myself. By plunging into different psyches, I suddenly had answers to the questions I\u2019d often been asking myself about other people. It was liberating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

So the possibility of escaping oneself to become someone else is a form of therapy?<\/strong>
\r\nFor sure. The more I act the more I understand to what point our identity and emotions are malleable. During a shoot, I might play a character who\u2019s the complete opposite to me and live her emotions to the point of defending them. It\u2019s very real, and then suddenly you have to stop acting, the shoot is over, I return to my life, my family, my boyfriend…<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Charlize Theron said that she adored exploring the psyche of a serial killer in Monster<\/em> [2004]…<\/strong>
\r\nI haven\u2019t yet played a serial killer, but it\u2019s a role I\u2019d love to try because it\u2019s extreme. When I choose my scripts, I look for characters that go against what I\u2019m like in real life. It was the case with Lisa in Amants, who frightened me because she\u2019s a very \u201cstraight\u201d woman, and I, Stacy, am not at all like that… If the role is going to be uncomfortable for me, if it will require me to put a lot of energy and effort into making it believable, then I say to myself that I really must do it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Yet you often play very cold intimidating women like in Joann Sfar\u2019s La Dame dans l\u2019auto<\/em> [2015] with glasses and a rifle, Beno\u00eet Jacquot\u2019s Dernier Amour [2019] and even in Amants.<\/em> Are they really the complete opposite to you in real life?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s true that all those women sort of have something in common \u2013 it\u2019s as though all three were in a permanent headlong rush. Personally I\u2019m much more contemplative… But then you could also say that, like them, I\u2019m extremely tenacious!<\/p>\r\n
