The first thing, the main thing, about how I work is I need to understand the character.

I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.

I find it easier to play someone who is so far from me because you create someone - you build this person based on the story and the script, with the director.

I don't stick to special techniques, conscious techniques.

Sometimes you don't need to explain how you care and love someone so much, but I really love him as a person and as a director. I wanted to be perfect for Michael Mann. I wanted to give the best of my best of my best. I don't know if I did, but I was touched by him. He's totally inspirational.

As an actress I just want to tell beautiful stories

If I wake up during a dream I can usually go back to sleep and finish the story.
