Culture is fundamental. Literature saves you. Cinema saves you.

I don't like comfort zones. Having never had any drama training, I don't really have a technique, so I'm continually learning new things. I like being frightened, and always having to start from scratch.

In America, you don't have to be weak, you have to be strong.

Culture is fundamental. Literature saves you. Cinema saves you.

The character is important, of course, but I like when there's intelligence in a movie. I like when it's, how do you say, sensible. So for me a film is very subjective, and it's a point of view. I like to be brought into a world of a director.

I love it when people have pleasure working and when there is respect. That's what I love.

I went to Berlin for a year and a half, and that's where I learned about culture and art and everything. Before that, I lived in total absence of culture. I come from a house where there was nothing like reading or art.
