Cannes is a very strange place. I tried to show up as best I could and to try not to be cynical.

To do work that's not going to be fulfilling doesn't make sense.

It's been very important for me to follow my gut or my heart, or whichever organ you want to go by.

I felt that the biological clock was some myth to keep me from doing what I wanted to do. And so I rebelled against it in the '90s. I thought it was a backlasher, some sort of faulty data. But it's real. I'm glad I woke up before my body was just like 'uh-uh.

I guess the characters I play may be at the more destructive edge of the spectrum, more damaged or whatever, but I find a lot of female roles uninteresting.

I see my job as an actor to be as good a channel as I can be. Acting is a gift, and I have respect for it.
