One job is to be an actor, the other job is to be a spectator.

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.

Knowing when to fight is just as important as knowing how.

Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice.

The sin which is indulged to the greatest extent, which separates us from God and produces so many spiritual disorders, and which are contagious, is selfishness.

Tragedy is not what men suffer but what they miss.

From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do -- now.

Seem like codeine is the one thing that help take my mind from the lies

Your talent is your art. It is not to be taken for granted.

Would you do your job and not be paid for it? I would do this job, and take on a second job just to make ends meet if nobody paid me. That’s how you know you are doing the right thing.

When you conceive something in your mind, know it is a fact, and that there can be no question about its manifestation.

There is no way now to get around some use of embryos. But my goal is to avoid using them.
