The big problem in the world is when people are forced to be in a totally foreign context.

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.

Be thankful for every mountain, because it's the mountaintop that will give you best view of the world.

Seek and achieve "GREATNESS" instead of mere success

I was young enough to be an optimist.

I've tried just about every crazy diet you can imagine.

The end of the world begins the moment you die.

Stubbornness is not firmness.

I think there's nothing more wonderful than using fiction to reflect real-world cultural ideas.

After being thrown out of the house, four schools and the United States Army, I discovered that I was on the right track.

I may not have proved a great explorer, but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success.

Come to the Root of the Root of your Self
