I understand that we cannot make other people happy when they are unhappy.
When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.
I believe in God, but I am not sure to trust Him so much.
I think when you're an adult you start to like the very things that make you different. If you obsess about some defect, you make it obvious to everyone, and suddenly everyone is staring at just that defect. It's always like that. The more you hide something, the more it shows. But when you accept your defect, suddenly no one on earth sees it anymore.
After each experience, you grow up, you get enriched with something, and you don't know how you're going to be in six months, you don't know what you're going to want, what you're going to need.
I'm not imagining me being the James Bond girl, because anyway I don't have the good maturation.
I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.
I love the fact that there's an evolution in your understanding and the difference between the first time you play the role and last time you play the role - there's an incredible arc and that's wonderful.
What we wear is the shell of who we are.
I understand that nobody understands me, but I can't be someone I'm not.
It's so easy and comfortable to lie to yourself. Success is to become who you are. I think Hollywood thinks in a totally different way. But I think that as a human being, and not only an actress, that's really how you lead a successful life.
I've never sent a Tweet. I think I have an account but I don't know who runs it. I've never done one in my life.
When I wanted to do this job it was for making movies not for the glitter. Of course with the fame I got more offers from different countries so it is great to have huge luxuries for an actor to work and to have the choice. But after, in life, I can't enjoy anonymity. But I can hide myself.
Charm is more valuable than beauty. You can resist beauty but you can't resist charm.
