Juliette Binoche (French pronunciation: [ʒyljɛt binɔʃ]; born 9 March 1964) is a French actress, artist and dancer. She has appeared in more than 40 feature films, been recipient of numerous international awards, and has appeared on stage and in movies across the world. Coming from an artistic background, she began taking acting lessons during adolescence. After performing in several stage productions, she began acting in films by auteur directors Jean-Luc Godard (Hail Mary, 1985), Jacques Doillon (Family Life, 1985) and André Téchiné, who made her a star in France with the leading role in his 1985 drama Rendez-vous. Her sensual performance in her English-language debut The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988), directed by Philip Kaufman, launched her international career.
She sparked the interest of Steven Spielberg, who offered her several parts including a role in Jurassic Park which she declined, choosing instead to join Krzysztof Kieślowski in Three Colors: Blue (1993), a performance for which she won the Venice Film Festival Award for Best Actress and a César. Three years later Binoche gained further acclaim in Anthony Minghella's The English Patient (1996), for which she was awarded an Academy Award and a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress in addition to the Best Actress Award at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival. For her performance in Lasse Hallström's romantic comedy Chocolat (2000), Binoche was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
I was waiting
For a sign of something
Was there only one thing
I could call my own
I was looking
For a new beginning
For a way of winning
All that I was owed
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You bring it back to me
I was dreaming
Of a new day dawning
With the Monday morning
Running in my eyes
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You give it back to me
I was hoping
For a moon at midnight
For a flash of sunlight
In the northern sky
I was searching
For the dreams of dreamers
For the scheme of schemers
Where the modest lie
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
You give it back to me
Oh, Mary
How could they know
First they took my heart
Then they break my soul
Oh, Mary
How could they see
When I lose it all
