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 want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

It's great working with my sister, because we are very close as a family - my brother, my sister and myself. We have a great relationship.

It's very much like a torture sometimes, the process of trying to get rid of an accent.

Pedro Almodóvar asked me to watch italian films again as homework to look at the energy of all those women from the Italian neo-realist films. A lot of them had those characters that represented motherhood. For some reason, in the '50s in Italy, the mother figure was very important - and my character needed to have that energy.

I want to work with Johnny Depp.

I like roles that people don't recognize me in.
