It's so sad to me [see the director's versions of films] because it shows how the filmmaker never got to make the film he had originally envisioned. You watch it and go, "Oh my god, he had to cut that scene! I can't believe it."

We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.

Sex appeal is in your heart and head. I'll be sexy no matter how old or how my body changes.

If you take away money, if you take away the houses and things, who are we really? What is love really about? What is it to love each other? Why do we stay together, and why do all the kids split? All these questions I have really deep inside of me.

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

When I wrote the script [of "Aquarius"], it seemed to hold people's interest.

It's a great role for any age. Any actress wishes they would find a screenplay that means as much to them as "Aquarius" meant to me, as a person and a citizen.
