 Marion Cotillard won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in 2007’s La Vie En Rose, but she still refuses to let her job come first.

She said: “I live as a girl who had big dreams and who is lucky enough to live those dreams while continuing to dream -- while at the same time living a real life.

“I don’t want to be someone else. And I’m not going to let my job take me away from myself. I’m not going to be haunted or disturbed.”

The 35-year-old beauty -- who is currently expecting her first child with partner Guillaume Canet -- also revealed her cinematic inspirations are classic comedy actors.

She told Empire magazine: “I admired Greta Garbo but I didn’t want to be her. I wanted to be Charlie Chaplin. I wanted to be Peter Sellers.”

French screen siren Marion Cotillard pregnant

LOS ANGELES: French actress Marion Cotillard and her partner, actor and director Guillaume Canet, are expecting their first child in the coming months, her spokesperson told AFP Monday.

Cotillard, 35, and Canet, 37, began dating in 2007 and are known as one of the most glamorous couples in French cinema. They are not engaged, and have no intention of marrying, celebrity magazine People reported Monday.

After winning the best actress Oscar in 2007 for her role as iconic singer Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose," Cotillard has concentrated her career in larger Hollywood movies in recent years, including 2010's blockbuster "Inception" alongside Leonard Di Caprio.

Canet has appeared in some thirty movies including "The Beach," and has also branched out with a directing career that includes the French films "Les petits mouchoirs," from last year, and 2006's thriller "Tell No One."
