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

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.

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.

But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.

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

But I think it's a little different in Europe, because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.

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.
