I was so lucky because I started working very young. And my father was very wealthy and I didn't need to work. I did my films. I was very well paid for my age, and I could make choices, decide not to do a film for six months and wait until I'd get the right thing. Which made me quite a coward, you know. It's so easy to say no to stuff, and then, after a while, it's very hard to go back in.

I think, being an actress, you know that you're getting old. I'm 44. I mean, an agent said when I turned 40, "It won't get better."

I hope one day I will be able to be completely myself. Maybe I'll be wilder.

I think I developed a very closed personality. I didn't really have friends. I changed schools every year.

I don't feel that I've accomplished anything. I feel that it'll be better when I won't care as much, but it's so difficult to let go and accept all the wrong notes.

The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.
