When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.

I think I'm a romantic person, yeah.

I long to get back into theater.

I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.

I remember in "Law of Desire," where I played a homosexual, that people were more upset that I kissed a man on the mouth than I killed a man. It's interesting to see how people can pardon you for murdering a man, but they can't pardon you for kissing one.

When you work in a different language you are not so attached to the words.

Every time, I reaffirm in myself that the more comfortable you are, the less you are creating. You have to feel a little bit of pain in the creation.
