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.

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

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

I move on stage differently. The more you act, anyway, the more you live, your perception of life becomes more and more accurate.

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.

I was used to theatre classes. I studied with my mother; she was a theatre teacher and directed, too, so it was very family-like. Then I studied with a great teacher in Paris, and she was wonderful; she pushed me, but she was a warm soul.
