I like travelling and if I have to come to Hollywood to make a movie I will, but otherwise I'd never move there. It's very much an industry town and that doesn't really interest me.

I like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.

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

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.

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

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

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