Well, I don't know anything about television. I'd never done it before. Initially, it was quite daunting to take on so much challenge and so much time with it. I think it is a great outlet for an actress because you really have 13 hours to bring a character to life, which is so much more than with film, and you have the luxury of time to tell a story and to really color a character.

I truly, genuinely like clothes. Making them is an art form, and wearing them is a form of self-expression. I find it very emotional because I can remember moments in my life - my mood, how I felt - through these clothes.

I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children - but I try.

The only song I can sing is “Lady in Red” so that must tell you how great it must have been.

I'm not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.

I'm intrigued more and more by complex female characters because I'm more in touch with myself. I realize how screwed up or complex I am. And I'm flattered that, little by little, more and more directors want to meet me.

I'm European, small, dainty - but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.
