You don't want to cry over yourself, you don't want to have compassion about yourself. It's not the right place.

There are many different ways of being funny. I'm not sure that there's so many different ways of being dramatic.

Balzac, you know, our great Balzac, he wrote interesting things about how in literature you keep distance in order to express great feelings. You have to keep a distance - and it's exactly the same with acting.

I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.

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!

I always thought that's the exact metaphor, the perfect metaphor for acting. To go blind, to ignore the danger, and to totally trust.

You don't want to cry over yourself, you don't want to have compassion about yourself. It's not the right place.
