I'm very down-to-earth and accessible, 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.

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

For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.

Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.

Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.
