For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at!

In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn't mingle them. Now it's more ambiguous.

I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything

Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.

I always thought that's the exact metaphor, the perfect metaphor for acting. To go blind, to ignore the danger, and to totally trust.

The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.

For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music.

I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal.

For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top.

We all pretend to be very strong, and then in a fraction, you can just break down, at least for me.

A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.

May we love each other not only at Christmas but all year.

Joy is so deeply rooted in our souls that it is not tossed about by the waves of circumstance.

You are not too small. No one is ever too small to offer help.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Because we imagine, we can have invention and technology. It's actually play, not necessity, that is the mother of invention.

I understand it all. I can write my own ticket for one or two movies. But if they're not the right ones, my ticket gets yanked. I understand that's how it works, and I'm okay with it.

I was posing as a 9-year-old girl who was a blue-ribbon prizewinner; she rode on a Shetland pony, the small horse that was the appropriate size for her.

We're just trying to find happiness in the bodies and minds we were given, like everyone else.

When I became vegan I thought I would have to deprive myself of certain sweets that I loved so much, like caramel and peanut butter cups, but on the contrary!

Anyone that is able to put a high school film and gonzo journalism together, it's like, "Yes, please!"
