play acting too-much
I don't do method acting. If I play a farmer, I'm not gonna spend 3 weeks on a chicken farm. That's a bit too much for me.
responsibility two half
It's a big responsibility to be the main part of a film because if you don't like me, you have a problem for two-and-a-half hours.
instinct theater feels
I personally don't like to rehearse so much. I really trust my instincts. I like to talk and talk and talk until we have to do it. I feel the same about theater.
actors method i-can
I'm not a method actor. I can't even explain so much what I do.
thinking actresses intuitive
I think I'm a very intuitive actress.
country hero book
I knew always that Holland gave away the most Jews of all the countries. We are not the heroes that are in the history books.
character able too-much
I read a lot of articles about young women in the resistance. All of a sudden, I felt that if I go too much into this horror, then I won't be able to start as a fresh character.
scene theater where-you-are
In theater, the scenes I like the most are the ones where you are there and you cannot talk.
insecure america doors
I never believed in going to America with my show-reel and knocking on every agent's door. I couldn't even do it. I'm too insecure, and too proud. It's a strange combination.
satisfies second
I'm a singer and working on my second album. I write and produce. There is so much more that satisfies me. So there's not just this one ambition to become an American movie star. Because I will never become an American movie star.
