For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.

When I won the Oscar, there was something telling me 'this isn't the truth'. I had to get back to real work.

I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.

My outlook on life is to be true. To take risks. To love the shadows as well as the light. To find your task. To recognise your task. To be active.

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

For me, habit is just a synonym for death.

It's not a struggle to be on a diet. You feel lighter, and your spirit is lighter, too. But I love chocolate, and I allow myself to have chocolate. That doesn't go against a diet for me.
