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.

I've been changed watching films or reading books or hearing music, and that helps you to live your life.

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.

My private life is very private, and I have chosen not to live in America or England, where you are so exposed and can't fight against it.

Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.
