'I don't sell my private life, and nobody knows the truth or has done a proper journalist's work on that situation."



Vanessa Paradis has no plans to speak publicly about her split from Johnny Depp.

The French musician-turned-actress - who ''amicably separated'' from the 49-year-old 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor in June after 14 years together - said she is determined to never discuss the break down of their relationship in a bid to protect their two children Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 10.

The 39-year-old star told the Daily Beast: ''I don't sell my private life, and nobody knows the truth or has done a proper journalist's work on that situation. Nowadays, people speculate, but nobody knows. I have my children to protect. There are children involved, so it's really no one's business but the family.''

The 'Be My Baby' singer insisted her children are her number one priority and opened up about how much she loves them.

She said: ''What changes with motherhood is that you're not No. 1 in your life anymore. Suddenly someone counts more than yourself. It makes you a better person, less selfish and more aware of others. The biggest love of your life is born, and it's the one love that never fades, but keeps growing stronger.''

Vanessa also said her relationship with her children helped her to prepare for her new movie 'Cafe de Flore' in which she plays a jealous mother of a child with Downs Syndrome that falls in love with another child.

She said: ''All parents are [overprotective]. When somebody hurts your child, you become a war machine. You couldn't kill, but you want to. We have the gut feeling, you know? You love and you fear for them, and it's all here [points to her belly]. I understand that.''

Some casting news is too intriguing to ignore. Cate Blanchett will team up with French film star Isabelle Huppert in a staging of Jean Genet's "The Maids" next year at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia.

The company unveiled its 2013 season on Thursday. "The Maids," which will be directed by Benedict Andrews, will run June 4 to July 20 in Sydney. The new English translation is by Andrews and Andrew Upton. Genet's 1947 play was inspired by the real-life story of the Papin sisters, who worked as maids and were convicted of murdering their employer.

In August, the Sydney Theatre Company said that Blanchett would be stepping down as co-artistic director. Upton, who is her husband, is staying on as sole artistic director. The company recently brought its production of "Uncle Vanya" to New York as part of the Lincoln Center Festival.

The new season will also include a revival of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," with Richard Roxburgh and Hugo Weaving; and a production of Joanna Murray-Smith's new play "Fury," directed by Upton.

Huppert, whose film credits include "The Piano Teacher" and "La Ceremonie," has returned to the stage regularly throughout her career. She appeared in a touring production of Sarah Kane's "4.48 Psychosis" that came to L.A. in 2005. She also starred in the original Paris cast of Yasmina Reza's "God of Carnage."

"La Ceremonie," in which Huppert co-starred with Sandrine Bonnaire, was adapted from the Ruth Rendell novel "A Judgement in Stone," which itself was loosely inspired by the Papin case.
