I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.

People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.

The thing is that I never felt beautiful. I really never did. I think I can change my looks and be different things, but I've never thought of myself as this face.

You have to have the courage to wait, to say no, ... And thats difficult. This job is very uncertain, and its frightening.

A director could be 20 years old and an actor 60, or vice versa; it doesn't matter. It's about connecting sensibility and energy together, and having a vision that goes together and anchors the film as you go along.

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

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.
