Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.

It's challenging as an actor to let go but I had some pleasure out of it too. To not have the effort of having to present myself is quite liberating.

As an actor, I have to be fulfilled in the roles that I play; it has to be a journey for me to learn something or involve myself.

Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.

Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.

People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.

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