My concern is to continue respecting my work as I've done since I began as an actor and I could only do that if I'm strong enough to keep on doing what I think best in an artistic way.

The only thing I can do is act, but it's not something I even feel comfortable doing. It costs me a lot, because I'm a shy person, even if I don't look it.

I wanted to become a painter for a while. I think it was because I was lazy.

My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and, if you are looking for answers, you'd better choose the question carefully.

Even in the darkest regions, people have discovered their right of freedom.

And the whole Oscar thing, that is just surreal: you spend months and months doing promotion, and then come back to reality with this golden thing in your hands. You put it in the office and then you just have to look at it sitting on the shelf. And, after about two weeks, you go: 'What is that doing there?'

When you know people are really at peace with who they are and what they do, they collaborate and want to help you to improve.
