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 love to do very long and complicated scenes. I like to have this impression that we are all working together, where you can see all the technicians and everybody is really doing the same thing at the same time. With close-ups, of course you have the crew there, but most of them are just around and it doesn't involve that many people.

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.

If you try to measure the future, you will never risk the present. Playing it safe. A ghastly game.

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.

When I first see the dailies, I look only at myself, but then you start to see the scene.

What I do is I come in the morning and get involved in the character, but I'm always very pleased to leave it at night and have my life.
