Vanessa Parady: "Success is not enough to succeed"

Vanessa Paradis starred in a photo shoot for the magazine Grazia, and also gave an interview to a French publication in which she told her vision of the formula for success and her own destiny.

The actress believes that to achieve career heights it's not enough luck alone:

"I think that fate exists. But still, to achieve success, you need to work hard. My career is successful, I was lucky. And the favorable circumstances were contributing to this. But, frankly, in order to keep good luck and to take advantage of it, it is necessary to be committed to your work and hard work. Often because of their indifference or inattention, we miss opportunities and luck that has come to us. "

"Why look back?"

Parady said that she often refused beneficial offers, but she does not regret her choice and does not look back:

"In my career, I sometimes refused any major projects and interesting proposals. I missed some good roles, but now I do not regret it. I did not always do the right thing, but it's my choice, my decisions, my life. Why constantly look back? I would not refuse, perhaps, only to play in a musical, but, unfortunately, no one offered me. Even now I am happy to agree to such a proposal, but at 20 I would have played much better. "
