But I really want to be an artist, so therefore I have to live a little bit like a monk.

I am not well educated or bright enough to be politically clued in, but I hope in the film that I'm going to shock a few people, win a lot of people over.

I have no prejudice against male or female.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

But as a woman, I really started feeling vulnerable on the set, and I really felt that it was important that I should not be open for invitation or making myself look as though I was waiting for something.

If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.
