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

My father loved me and he wanted to work with me and he didn't care what people would say.

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 don't feel I have to share everything.

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 was very attached to my family when my father died. I was 19. I was about to go live with my father right when he died, so it was very intense.

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.
