Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.

My aim was never to be an American star; otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.

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.

I'm not even aware of my success. Success is such an illusion.

For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.

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