I need relationships, but sometimes when I am in one I feel claustrophobic. It is about feeling that I still have my freedom, that I have choices. I don't look back on the past because I like to live in the present. I know this makes some people think I probably never cared, but I need my freedom and I like to keep moving.

A director could be 20 years old and an actor 60, or vice versa; it doesn't matter. It's about connecting sensibility and energy together, and having a vision that goes together and anchors the film as you go along.

What I love most about this crazy life is the adventure of it.

Changing someone's life is not the best, is not wanting to change the other life. It is being who you are that changes another's life. Do you understand?

Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.

I'm not a dancer, so I have to find a movement that belongs to me. I dance within my limits and with my imagination.

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