Before I thought there was a common denominator between my films - as if all my characters were sisters - but I'm not so sure now.

What I need is to express my passion for life... It's movement I'm interested in, the life in me, the life in humanity.

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

I don't think I'm a perfect mother. I think I'm trying my best. I think it's complicated, it's difficult. I think I'm learning from my kids so much to be their mother. I don't think you're born a mother, I think you become a mother.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

In a building with apartments, of course, you want to make connections. Life is easier that way. There's salt if you don't have salt; you can knock at someone's door, like in any city. But you know, you can hear the others, and you want to sleep, you get annoyed.

For me, real, truthful moments come from a place that I don't know. If somebody was telling me, "You're going to lift your face like this, you're going to do this..." No! I don't want to know. Just let me live it.
