I love strong women in films that are allowed to play women and not male fantasies.

My family believe you should never be flashy about anything. Maybe that handicapped me a little bit, that extreme humility.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.

Obviously, education is hugely important, along with healthcare. They're the basics and you're hurting your own country if you don't pour money into them.

I don't like the word celebrity. If I become a good actress and be in movies where I'm expected to be a good actress, who is recognised, that's different to being what I consider to be a celebrity. My job is an actor and that's what I'm passionate about and adore. It's a privilege to be able to do this job for a living.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.
