I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants.

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.

People who know me know I'm strong, but I'm vulnerable.

The story is more important to me than the part.

To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.

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.

Sometimes, just to give the impression that you have the strength and the vitality demands a lot. You can't always give that impression when you have heels and a wig on and it's 40 degrees outside.
