I never had any barriers coming from my family. Just encouragement.

I know some real intellectual people who might laugh, very close friends who might laugh when I'm said to be an intellectual.

For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at!

If I seem detached or distant, it's because I think this is a more exact reproduction of life, where you hide as much as you show. When I see a scene in which feelings get loudly exteriorized, I say to myself, 'Well, at least this never happens to me.' I very rarely go through this type of expression. Most of the time things are hidden or at least much more subdued.

Sometimes over the years, you know, things come to surface.

I don't think I'm that intellectual.

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
