When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do it

If on paper one would say, "You're gonna spend three weeks in Death Valley," you say, "No, I'm not going to be able to." Very often, very quickly you forget about it.

For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top.

I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.

One would expect an actress to stand onscreen mostly as a caricature. If she would say, "I'm selling shoes," you would believe her. She says it and it creates this fiction, non-fiction perception of the film. People believe it because she says it. If she said, "I'm a butcher," people would believe it too, I think.

But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing.

The big problem in the world is when people are forced to be in a totally foreign context.
