I was terrible at school.

Men don't fall in love with me - only young ones.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.

The Cannes film festival is about big-budget films but also remarkable films made in different political regimes by film-makers with little resources.

I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.

At school, I always wanted to belong to a gang, and no one would have me. So I'd have make my own gang, but with everybody else's leftovers.

It doesn't make you feel very good being mean and fierce; it is much nicer playing people who are kind and sweet.
