Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

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?

I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.

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.

Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It's not that I'm pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don't stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.

I wanted to work with people from the world, with different minds and different visions.

I think I am pretty much melancholic.
