You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.

I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.

Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects. But sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.

I think anything that has to do with sexuality makes people very interested.

I didn't devote my life to acting. I give a lot to my work, but my life has always been more important.

I admire Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet. I like a lot of comedians. I like Cameron Diaz - she's funny and has a very light spirit. That's quite rare nowadays. There are many actresses I admire.

I'm afraid of being too sure, to just deliver. I think that's the biggest danger for actors - after a certain time, when you're known and recognised, people expect you to do what you're supposed to do, and there's almost no more criticism and that's very dangerous.
