The problem with me in doing things simply is that I feel I'm not enough. It's all very embarrassing.

I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.

There's always this thing of wanting to be elsewhere.

It was very liberating to be able to sing in English. It had a different resonance, different images. It was like being a stranger in a foreign land, which was helpful.

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

I love being a beginner. It can be a terrible feeling because you're ashamed of everything you do, but it's so exciting at the same time.

I didn't go to acting school, so it was great to be able to rehearse for a month or two, to workshop, and be with a director who even gave me acting exercises.
