A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.

I didn't devote my life to acting. I give a lot to my work, but my life has always been more important.

Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.

Most of the time I've worked with directors who write their own scripts. The story is more important to me than the part. The project of the film has always been more important to me.

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 love to do very long and complicated scenes.

You can express a lot of things, a lot of action without speaking.
