Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.

It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.

I love to do very long and complicated scenes.

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.

I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants. Then if something happens to remind me that I'm an actress then I become a little different and things become a little heavy.

That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
