I didn't want to become an actress because the competition with my mother would have been to much to live up to.

I always loved experimenting in film.

My father used to say that you could only access culture before cinema by learning to read and write, but that once cinema was invented, knowledge was available to anybody.

A lot of the advertisement is done by saying: first of all, have a complex about who you are.

I don't think a Hollywood actor is safe from acting in the rain: it all depends on the film.

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by.

Food is a big part of my culture, so everyone knows how to cook. When I came to America and asked a babysitter to softboil an egg for my son and she didn't know how, I was shocked.
