I don't look at myself on the outside. Sometimes you feel like you're not really there and need one more [take], because I feel like something is coming out. I don't really know what but I need to get it out.

It's better to not be afraid of things and not avoid things.

The weird thing is that, with actors, filmmakers and directors, it doesn't really matter if it's Robert Downey Jr., who's one of the biggest stars in the world, when you start to work, he's a hardworking actor. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who's a big star and who's an unknown actor from wherever. It's all about the work you do.

I want to explore more sides of humanity and myself. That's what acting is about.

I'm never satisfied. I can always find things that I can do better and go further on, so I force myself to accept when someone says, "We have it, it's good and we can move on."

I think that I'm very passionate, and I know that if I decide to do a film, my character is going to take over my life.

My husband, when I was filming the Millennium movies, he asked me, `How far are you going and when are you coming back?'
