I hate to recreate the whole world into my imagination.

When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for 'Swimming Pool' was kind of a burden. Like, OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo and I was having problems coping with that image.

In 'Swimming Pool,' all the colors are very warm, sunny, the pool and all that. In 'Love Crime,' everything is so cold, and it's all inside skyscrapers.

You know, when you start, especially with me, I didn't really know I was going to be a movie actress. I thought I was going to do theater.

Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.

When you get quick fame and success and exposure, it makes you feel dizzy, and I didn't want to lose my balance 'cause that's something I've been struggling with for so many years. I'm not fond of the idea of making it in Hollywood. That's not my aim; otherwise, I would have settled down in Los Angeles.

Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I'm happy.
