It feels great and it's very beautiful when you can bring someone of your own nationality into a story, where even the historic element of it is important. I loved that I could use my own accent for the character.

I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.

The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.

I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.

I am a big fan of photography, more of being behind the camera - so when I get the opportunity to work with such great photographers, I always try and learn from their technique.

I try to look at the whole thing and say 'yes' to the projects that I cannot stop thinking about. If I read a script and the subject stays with me - then that's when I want to go to work.

I always feel scared and insecure on a film set. I don't know any other way.
