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

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.

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 went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

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 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.
