I've always felt lucky because my parents included my sister and I in their cultural life.

I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York.

I believe a lot in the relationship between performers. When you're supported by someone's eyes, you're not alone.

I had starred in TV movies without much artistic value. They gave me a certain range. I knew that I was going to continue my studies, but I wanted to try something else on the side. I wanted to see what would come of it.

Acting makes you look at life and try to understand it in a beautiful way.

I had a grungy period and looked like a tramp for a very long time - my mum really hated it! I destroyed her entire '70s wardrobe by putting studs into everything - I thought I was really cool. But it's good to experiment - I even had dreadlocks at one point.

I think the people we meet in life and the loves of our lives are very, very important in what we become, like change us - when it's right, probably change us for the best.
