I give everything to my work, and I like complex roles, characters that aren't obvious. I've been very lucky so far, and I'm dreaming of working with directors like Jane Campion, Susanne Bier and the Dardennes. But the gods will decide.

All my jewelry has stories.

When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model

Lots of shy people dress a bit too much. It's just kind of an armour. People say the same thing about me.

Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.

There's this shop in New York I go to; it has bones and fossils and insects that are like works of art. I have a few on my wall.

My father has always written with Mont Blanc pens. It's very chic and elegant and classic.
