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

I would say I'm humanly engaged.

My outlook on life is to be true. To take risks. To love the shadows as well as the light. To find your task. To recognise your task. To be active.

As an actress, I think there is always a political consciousness there.

My aim was never to be an American star; otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.

As an actor, I have to be fulfilled in the roles that I play; it has to be a journey for me to learn something or involve myself.

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.
