I like independence, I like creating my own world, not being in a system. There are more possibilities, I think.

I don't like films giving me answers. I like films that are provoking me, that are making me feel not only being in an easy place.

I need relationships, but sometimes when I am in one I feel claustrophobic. It is about feeling that I still have my freedom, that I have choices. I don't look back on the past because I like to live in the present. I know this makes some people think I probably never cared, but I need my freedom and I like to keep moving.

Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.

As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.

Each new film is like a trial. Before I step in front of the camera, I do not know whether I am going to fall or whether I am going to fly - and that is exactly the way I want it to stay.

I want to know why I'm alive. I want to understand. It's like exploration; it's like someone being interested in a place and its history, digging into the earth and looking for it, searching - it's a passion.
