I don't want to feel that I'm a singer or an actress - being able to say that those are just experiences is what I enjoy.

I wish I could just accept that I'm not that good and not be shy about the fact that I'm not that professional.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

Before I started touring, I worked with someone to help me, even physically, because I was so shy. And you can't be shy going onstage. So I had to push myself in a direction that wasn't myself.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

Maybe, in the back of my head, I'm thinking I have to do as much as I can. It'll stop.

It rarely happens that I get to work again with the same director. I had such a wonderful time on Antichrist with Lars von Trier, that I was going to do whatever he proposed me to do. When he sent me the script of Christmas, I just loved it. I think I love anything he writes.
