I'm a complete hypochondriac. If my heart starts beating a little faster than normal, I think I'm having an attack.

You can change a person in their exterior aspects, but the soul remains, it still is there, and especially if that person has been changed involuntarily.

One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.

I think I'm a romantic person, yeah.

Characters don't belong to anyone, not even the person who plays them.

Listen, I think movies serve many different purposes, from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment, to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity, and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.

I completely take on the risk, the poker game, which being an artist means, and I'm going to try to make a film which honestly reflects what I have in my head.
