"But the privileges that one has enjoyed and exploited can sometimes turn against you: nobody thinks of you as a director, you are always an actress"

This quote by Sophie Marceau speaks to the concept that the privileges we enjoy in life can in some cases be a double-edged sword. In Marceau's case, she is describing her career as an actress and director. She has actually taken pleasure in the opportunity of being an actress, but it has likewise been an obstacle in her pursuit of directing. In spite of her success as a director, she is still seen primarily as an actress, and her directing is often overlooked. This quote acts as a suggestion that the benefits we enjoy can in some cases be a burden, and that we must be mindful of how we use them. It also functions as a suggestion that we need to make every effort to be seen for our accomplishments, and not simply for the advantages we have taken pleasure in.
