I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

I have my own style and don't really follow fashion, but I like leggings. They're easy to wear and can go with anything.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.

I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.

When people begin to talk about "our island story" my hackles rise. It is deluded and conservative.

God heard us. He sent help. He sent you.

I don't want a job in the administration; I think I'm more effective carping from the sidelines.

I think it's always funny when somebody thinks you're going to do something super sexy and then you don't.

There is nothing left to us but to see how we may be approved of Him, and how we may roll the weight of our weak souls in well-doing upon Him, who is God omnipotent.
