You have to find the place where you abandon everything of yourself. Then you can let something else happen.
You don't really see yourself doing things, of course, but you feel.
I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to work with some directors and some actors I wouldn't have dared to think I would work with one day.
I'm not the kind of person who can do a lot of things at the same time.
When a script moves me, I find that I immediately understand a character. Of course not completely, but I do understand.
My parents definitely sparked something in me. I'm sure of it. I saw how happy and fulfilled they were, and I knew I wanted the same job.
If you search and search and stop searching, then ultimately you'll find what you need. It is the experience of living.
I've always had a repulsion going in a place where animals are in captivity.
My dad was a mime and then he had his company and created plays for children and was very successful with it.
It's a paradox to be an actress, living in the city, taking planes all the time, trying to find the right balance in this life, which is not so eco-friendly, and still try to respect the environment.
What I like in this job is you can travel to many places, many imaginations.

I don't think that I'm that sophisticated. Maybe I'm not aware of it, I don't know.
