To have a public life, you still have the right to a private life.

Getting older is not nice for anyone, not for men, not for women, and even more difficult for people who depend on their physical appearance. But it's not a drama. I know some people who are much more stressed than I am. And also, I live in Europe; I think it would be much more difficult if I lived in America.

I know who I am, how I was. I don't want to know how I will be because nobody knows that.

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.

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.

In America you need a bodyguard to go out.

I've worked with Andre Techine lately and with a young unknown director on a short film. I choose my roles carefully.
