I can be maternal with my friends.

I like movies that have strong personalities, and Michel Gondry is so creative that his films are always something special to watch.

I don't really know Hollywood, and I think that L.A. needs a bit of time to really know the city, because it's such a huge city.

It's so easy and comfortable to lie to yourself. Success is to become who you are. I think Hollywood thinks in a totally different way. But I think that as a human being, and not only an actress, that's really how you lead a successful life.

I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks.

I don't want to think my life as a career. I'm interested in my work only because of the meaning I can make.

I like to think in camera, but at the last minute the most important thing is that there is something happening between the actors. But good actors can have a lot of scenes going around them but sometimes it sort of helps the performance because it takes their mind off of who they are supposed to be.
