I'm lucky; people write scripts for me.

Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.

I did important films when I was very young.

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.

A lot of actors don't like to see how they've done every day.

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 always try to keep that feeling of being on the edge. I'm afraid of knowing too well and seeming mechanical.
