I think one of the few times I've been involved with real-life characters was the story of Marie Bonaparte. I think it's really difficult to become someone that really existed.

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

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.

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.

I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.

The paparazzi are nothing but dogs of war.

It's very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.
