When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.

I could live without acting.... Acting is a gift I've received. And I'm grateful for it and I enjoy it. But it's not the main point of my life. It never was.

Age protects love not, but love protects up to a certain degree before age.

To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.

How can you say something's important if you don't first withdraw and feel how rich you've become? That way you can become really generous. Otherwise, what do you give?

I have no doubt who I am.
