I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.

My experience has nothing to do with creation, I don't think, even though maturity is helpful. In a creation process, there's an intuition that takes you and if it's nourished with awareness and experience, it's great.

I like being a mother, and I want to be involved in my work, so I have to make choices. If you're a film actress, your career is from 20 to 45, but you can still dream.

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

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'm in the movie, I'm entirely in the movie. When I'm on the set, I'm 200 per cent there; when I'm at home, I'm 200 per cent at home.

You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.
