But I think it's a little different in Europe, because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.
But, you know, when I choose a film I need to believe in it and believe I can do something special with it, and after a while that means not trying to judge or analyze why I should do it. You have to follow this intuition thing, which is a mystery to me.
I'm a fighter as a mother. I'm fighting to be a mother, but I cannot say no to my passion because it's me, as well.
You must understand, I don't have to be happy to be happy.
You make your own path as an actor. Nobody does it for you, so you have to invent yourself.
If you have everything, then you don't want to go on. It's the lacking that makes you search for something better.
Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.
For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
I like intensity. If it's too mellow, I feel like, bleah. I like intensity, because it's way of reaching spaces inside of you, and it's my need of knowledge, of knowing about myself regardless.
My only ambition is to be true every moment I am living.
I think the world would be much better if you always started the morning by calling the person you dreamt of during the night.
I need relationships, but sometimes when I am in one I feel claustrophobic. It is about feeling that I still have my freedom, that I have choices. I don't look back on the past because I like to live in the present. I know this makes some people think I probably never cared, but I need my freedom and I like to keep moving.
I love the unknown. I think because it brings fear, and to embrace fear is the best feeling.
I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
