I think the world would be much better if you always started the morning by calling the person you dreamt of during the night.

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.

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

I like intensity. If it's too mellow, I feel like, bleah. I like intensity, because it's way of reaching spaces inside of you, and it's my need of knowledge, of knowing about myself regardless.

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.

I'm not even aware of my success. Success is such an illusion.

I never really worked in Hollywood. Some American producers came to Europe to shoot films with me, so it's a different situation... It was not my aim.
