Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.

I love to not work. I love to go to the movies, I like to travel... I think I work maybe half the year. Sometimes, people think I've done three films in a year, but it's because I did a participation [cameo?] in a film. But I work for half a year, no more.

I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.

You're better off not preparing, because what you prepare will always be wrong.

I would love to work with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. I think they're wonderful actors.

I like working with directors much, because I want to be able to give myself completely to their vision. Otherwise I would only do what I could do, again and again. I want to be taken by someone in a different direction.

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.
