My only ambition is to be true every moment I am living.

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

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.

Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.

I believe such illumination comes if you're open to the surprises the universe throws at you. You must be able to let go of the past, whatever success you may have seen, whatever your comfort, whatever your habits. To me, that's the key to loving life: Enabling yourself to step bravely into the unknown. Only there will you find yourself again.

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.

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.
