I was so happy when they cast me in Chocolat, because it's one of my vices.

I won't do something just for the sake of working.

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.

Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.

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 love the unknown. I think because it brings fear, and to embrace fear is the best feeling.

What I need is to express my passion for life... It's movement I'm interested in, the life in me, the life in humanity.
