It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

But, you know, when I choose a film I need to believe in it and believe I can do something special with it, and after a while that means not trying to judge or analyze why I should do it. You have to follow this intuition thing, which is a mystery to me.

For me, real, truthful moments come from a place that I don't know. If somebody was telling me, "You're going to lift your face like this, you're going to do this..." No! I don't want to know. Just let me live it.

I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.

I love the unknown. I think because it brings fear, and to embrace fear is the best feeling.

You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.

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