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.

I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.

The thing is that I never felt beautiful. I really never did. I think I can change my looks and be different things, but I've never thought of myself as this face.

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

I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.

Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It's not that I'm pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don't stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.

When I won the Oscar, there was something telling me 'this isn't the truth'. I had to get back to real work.
