I was never a dangerous woman. I'm not the prissy blonde woman that could take your husband away.

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

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

When you're young, you try to meet that expectation that people have of you. It can be very stressful. But with time it's become less of problem.

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