I'm very patient and always willing to try things but I have some resistance as well because I have my own vision. I have resistance sometimes because I see a director who's freaking out and wants to have control and they sometimes anticipate about what I'm going to be doing or not.

I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.

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

You have to be very cautious about what you are doing for charity and things like that. I think you have to start with your life. I think that's what life is expecting you to do. In your family, in your surroundings, in your work life, in the people you're with, your relationships; how you behave and doing what you need to accomplish. That for me is being a hero every day of your life.

I don't think I'm a perfect mother. I think I'm trying my best. I think it's complicated, it's difficult. I think I'm learning from my kids so much to be their mother. I don't think you're born a mother, I think you become a mother.

The strong is not the one who can put on the blades at a glance, and the one who is able to raise a smile from his knees!

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.
