What I need is to express my passion for life... It's movement I'm interested in, the life in me, the life in humanity.

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

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 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.

George Clooney is trying his own way but he's struggling too because he has to deal with America. Yet, if he has a foot in Europe, it's not for nothing.

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

I try to see my films just once. It's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.
