You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.

You have to put your ego aside as an actor. Or you're using your ego to tell the story. Your body is a part of a tool to tell the story. So if you feel something, it's wrong. It means you're not inside of the character.

There was probably something as a child I wanted to express, something unsaid that I needed to share.

My private life is very private, and I have chosen not to live in America or England, where you are so exposed and can't fight against it.

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

I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.

As actors, we are so privileged to do what we do and to give to the world and to choose the subject we want to say to the world.
