As a painter you're responsible yourself, 100 percent. In film, you have the editor, the director, the other actors. It has the advantage of not being solitary.

No one has taken my heart in their hand. I haven't given it... I have lent myself, rented myself out, but never given myself.

I have to be careful not to be too proud in life, because there is always room for improvement.

I learned so much from other actors and they definitely didn't treat me like some sex bomb or bimbo. I felt fully accepted in the regular movie world. I didn't feel categorised.

I have a talent for happiness. I look with the eyes of a painter, and I see beauty.

I'm very glad to have something to be passionate about. I can't imagine a life without passion.
