I would love to be able to do a film. I would love to be able to focus on what excites me in watching actors.
Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.
I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.
I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.
Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top-I think that's the main thing for me to work on.
In Franc, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
There was a scene where we were making love, but in a very trashy way, and it was supposed to be funny but I didn't feel it was funny.
You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?
I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.
It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.
I don't feel I have to share everything.
Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.
I hope one day I will be able to be completely myself. Maybe I'll be wilder.
