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

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.

I was really nervous about people booing, because my mother had gone for a film 20 years earlier and had a terrible time with people booing, whistling, so I knew that in Cannes people can get aggressive.

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.

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
