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

I was the youngest of five, and I think my mother always knew I was meant to be an 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 saw Chekhov a number of times in English, and I thought that it translates very well in English, for some reason, from the Russian to the English.

It was sometimes 60 degrees [Celsius], but it's very strange, cinema makes you forget reality most of the time. You are more concerned about your inner feelings, or your work.

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.

When I hear myself, I don't know how I sound.
