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 actors who are themselves. I know in America you like actors who change their nose or wear a lot of wigs, and they like to take pretty girls and make them super ugly.

When you decide to adapt some Russian novel, it's like everyone knows about it but nobody has read it.

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.

I show through my movies that I can do something else. But I always play strong-minded characters. I think it's maybe because I'm like that. I love being by myself.

I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

What we wear is the shell of who we are.
