I've worked with a lot great directors who have huge resumes, but I'm really trying to be active in my career in supporting the new generation of cinema. I like taking some time to try to support and be a part of that.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

Different films have different places in people's lives. I don't get to see a lot of films, so I want to watch films I learn from.

I needed to stay in the character.

You always have nerves. And it's important to respect your nerves and your doubts. And then you have to ultimately overcome them.

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

Every director is different and they all have different styles. I've worked with directors who were very specific and they gave a lot of direction. The one thing about Michael [Haneke]that I think is interesting is that he really has a reason for everything he's asking you. If you challenge it, he is open for discussion but he has a clear idea of what he wants with reasons why.
