The story is more important to me than the part.
I wouldn't say no to being in a film with Jude Law. I love English actors.
I have been involved in some films other actresses would not have done.
I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.
I did important films when I was very young.
But I never gave up personal things to work, never.
In America you need a bodyguard to go out.
Polanski was very precise. I think he still is.
Sex is a big question mark. It is something people will talk about forever.
I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts.
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
The paparazzi are nothing but dogs of war.
It's very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.
Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.
