It's true that I'm drawn to unusual stories. Normal roles don't really attract me.

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

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

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.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

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.

I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, Mother, what was war?

I could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips, but I fear it would be overly long.

Of late years (perhaps as a result of our political changes) art has borrowed from history more than ever.

Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.

I'm not sure I'll ever be famous by anyone's definition. I can only hope to be allowed by the audience to continue my life's work.

I waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.

Where there is creativity there is hope and Haiti is the most hopeful place I've experienced

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Instead of imposing something, let it make itself.

No niche is too small if it's yours.
