If you have everything, then you don't want to go on. It's the lacking that makes you search for something better.

People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.

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.

When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.

Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

I take care of myself because I'm an actress and I have to take care of my body as it's my tool in order to give in films.

I never really worked in Hollywood. Some American producers came to Europe to shoot films with me, so it's a different situation... It was not my aim.
