To be "here and now," in principle, is just for once. And then you have to repeat that.

My mom's a Catholic, and my dad's a Jew, and they didn't want anything to do with anything.

I was the youngest of five, and I think my mother always knew I was meant to be an actress.

I think movies say a lot [about real life], even more than theater. It says a lot about the invisible, that movies are so fascinating. The camera lens is like a microscope that goes beyond the surface. It's like you're exploring a secret, so you explore the director's secret, you explore the actor's secret, and therefore you explore the universe's secrets.

I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything

Am I an intellectual? I don't think so. Less than people sometimes think, I have to say. But more than some others think.

I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way.
