Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself.

Beauty is in you and is reflected in your eyes. It is not material.

Mistakes are a part of the dues one pays for a full life.

For me, it is good to be vulnerable. It makes me nice... weak sometimes, but in a good way, not a tragic way.

No press conference announcing a last film. I'd just steal away. Best way because, if by chance after two or three years something interesting comes up, I would not - like Sinatra - have to say: 'Well, I've thought it over and decided to come back.'

I do not know if I really am a big star. And in fact that is not the most important thing for me. What counts in life is to bring about more of your own dreams. In such a way that your life becomes like a fairy tale. This is what has happened to me, it is just like that.

I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.
