Like all school students, I think I did a play in my school. The common things, I would say. Nothing really exceptional.

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

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.

It is better to remember our love as it was in the springtime.

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.

No god ever gave any man anything, nor ever answered any prayer at any time - nor ever will.

I'm not perfect. I am not Iron Man.

Well, I think that everybody is kind of a nerd at heart.

The pain was so deep and so raw. There were days I would have died just to forget. The problem was, I couldn't figure out how to get her out of my mind. How do you kill that kind of pain?
