I'm a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you'll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you've got to go for it.

There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.

It's different for each individual. It's different when you talk about homosexuality. It's different when you talk about a malady like deafness. Everybody might have a different response to that and that's what makes it an interesting subject to throw in a movie.

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.

My French is still good. That's a beautiful language and I'm happy to speak it.

Ever since I started as an actress, just to catch up on some money, but not having an income for three years was tricky.
