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.

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

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

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.

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

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