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.

I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.

The strong is not the one who can put on the blades at a glance, and the one who is able to raise a smile from his knees!

Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.

My aim was never to be an American star; otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.

For me, habit is just a synonym for death.

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.
