Hello, I am Joséphine Japy at Vogue Paris and I'm doing the "Iconic" interview.
I think it's Rachel Green in "Friends."
Her style, the way she's an adult and a child at the same time,
her evolution, her independence.
I know everything about Friends, I know everything inside out.
It is close to an obsession.
Real fans know.
Unagi.
It's very unoriginal, but I think it's my mom.
She has helped me grow, evolve, and have the right outlook on life.
She has also helped me in my work, in the way I look at the world. 12 So that's why.
Two icons: Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac
in "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort."
I obviously had all the songs memorized
as well as the choreography.
As a little girl, it was one of the movies
that made me want to do this job.
It was my first film, "Les Âmes grises," I was ten years old,
and it was Jean-Pierre Marielle.
He watched me and treated me with great kindness.
At the end of filming,
I went to ask him for an autograph.
and he signed the autograph saying:
"For Josephine, awaiting the day when she signs an autograph for me."
As of today, it is still one of my most precious treasures.
I wish I could have acted with James Stewart.
I saw "It's a Wonderful Life" by Capra again not long ago
and he is an exceptional actor.
I would have loved to work with him.
I think it's Joaquin Phoenix, and it has been for a long, long time.
When I saw Gladiator, I remember saying to myself for the first time:
"I love a bad guy".
I can't help but feel sorry for him.
And I think that is one of the great talents in acting,
to be able to create this empathy with a character who is ultimately horrible.
Without a doubt, Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard."
It's about this broke screenwriter who finds himself living a story
with a former silent movie actress, played by Gloria Swanson,
who herself was a fallen silent movie actress.
I think this mirroring of her situation and the whole film is absolutely brilliant.
It is one of my favorite films.
It's Karen in "Out of Africa," and Sophie in "Sophie's Choice,"
it's all Meryl Streep's characters.
I am an absolute fan of the craftsmanship she creates
around each character she plays.
The "Royale With Cheese" scene in Pulp Fiction, which on paper is not a mind-blowing scene,
but I think the dialogue is a brilliant bit of triviality,
and how the actors manage to do it.
It is a scene that really made an impression on me as a teenager.
And what do they call it?
They call it "Royale With Cheese."
Royale with Cheese.
That would be Lubitsch and Kubrick.
Lubitsch because he is a director
who combines all film genres.
He is able to do romantic comedy,
drama, historical drama.
Kubrick for his talent as a director who has explored so many genres,
always with a real desire to prove something,
to prove something to himself,
and show something different every time.
I learned, as I was watching The Shining again —
I did some research, and I found out that the scene
where Jack Nicholson stuck his head into the bathroom was improvised.
I think it is absolutely great to see that in such a cutting-edge film, on every level,
that looks so polished and well thought out, there is still some improvisation.
Here's Johnny!
There is Johnny Depp's in "Edward Scissorhands,"
and Grace Kelly's entire wardrobe in "Rear Window."
This suit in "Edward Scissorhands" because it says something about difference
which I love very much and which touches me very much.
I learned that Burton had drawn it long before when he was still at Disney.
He kept this character in mind for years
before making "Edward Scissorhands," so for that reason.
And Grace Kelly's wardrobe
because it is the pinnacle of glamour and Hollywood elegance.
I am not going to do an impression, that would be very embarrassing,
but I think it would be "Here's looking at you, kid" in Casablanca.
The entire script of the film is iconic, in my opinion.
Here's looking at you, kid.
The music by Ennio Morricone in "Once Upon a Time in America."
It is second to none.
Diana Ross, without a doubt.
My father played her tracks for us every Sunday.
I still listen to her obsessively.
I think it is both a little-girl thing, a memory thing,
and also this ultra glamorous female character, with a difficult destiny,
which has crossed ages, genders.
I think for all these reasons, it would be Diana Ross.
Françoise Hardy and Diane Keaton, whom I love.
I really like her style, her slightly androgynous, uncomplicated side.
And for a more red-carpet look, I think I would go with Audrey Hepburn,
for glamour, timelessness, beauty, natural elegance.
I would say Hubert de Givenchy for the work he has done in films,
his creativity, his art, his way of seeing clothes, his way of seeing women.
An iconic item of clothing?
A white shirt, every day, every hour, every occasion,
it's perfect.
Mine, in the future.
I don't know if it will be iconic or not, I don't know if it will exist,
but we'll say that.
In a white shirt of course.
La Butte Montmartre.
Right now, it's incredible to go there for a walk
because there are no tourists.
Just walking, walking in these streets.
It is a place that I like very much, I always feel good there.
Of course, it has to be "Titanic".
For me, it's the ultimate love story, and especially the two actors
who have become real friends and collaborators which I love.
110% Titanic.
