I started so old, so the touring world will always be a foreign land for me. I'll never be someone who's "been on the road."

I came to understand that people come and see you because they like you. They don't come to throw things at you.

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.

I can't do things by myself. I need a motivation, and the motivation is always the director's. I find my freedom inside other people's barriers. It's easier for me to find myself inside someone else's tracks.

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 thought people wouldn't take me seriously if too much acting was involved in the singing. But now I love the idea of mixing everything together.

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