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've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.
I've received some English-speaking scripts, but I was not interested in them.
I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.
What I like about theatre is the responsibility you have with your character.
I think that if you do an American movie it's important to earn some money, but in a stupid way, to be respected.
I'm very interested in people, in general.
Usually, I read the script very often. I think that everything is hiding in the script.
I don't really know Hollywood, and I think that L.A. needs a bit of time to really know the city, because it's such a huge city.
I like actors who are themselves. I know in America you like actors who change their nose or wear a lot of wigs, and they like to take pretty girls and make them super ugly.
I understand that we cannot make other people happy when they are unhappy.
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.
