Usually I love preparing. It's really the time I prefer, because it's a time of reflection and of possibility of growth - to let it cook inside.

It's challenging as an actor to let go but I had some pleasure out of it too. To not have the effort of having to present myself is quite liberating.

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

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.

As an actress we don't beat one another. It's whoever's right for the part.

I don't believe in coincidence.

I'm not a dancer, so I have to find a movement that belongs to me. I dance within my limits and with my imagination.
