I'm not a method actor, but I'm affected by the life I share my life with during shooting. It's always a very strange and special period for me.
I AM VERY MOVED BY SURVIVORS. BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO OVERCOME A HANDICAP, A SITUATION, OR ANYTHING. VISITING THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF THOSE PEOPLE TEACHES ME A LOT ABOUT HUMANS AND HUMANITY.
It was an amazing adventure, it was my dream to be in an American musical... I really hope you are going to love what you are going to see.
When I was little, there were so many people in my house. Everyone was enjoying themselves, rehearsing, having fun. It was like a playground.
It cannot be stressful. It just has to be fun. There are many, many things to stress for in this life -- not getting ready for a red carpet.
I would love to go into an animal's dream - like a lion's or a cat's. I'm sure that's pretty awesome.
I don't stick to special techniques, conscious techniques.
Every Story is different, Every Movie is different, Every Director is different.
If I wake up during a dream I can usually go back to sleep and finish the story.
You have to invest if you want to restore balance to the world.
My parents always told me that if you want something, you can do whatever you have to do to get it. As long as it's not against someone else.
I'll never approach a part in the same way again. Piaf taught me so much. In terms of my work, I think I'll enjoy it even more than before, because now I know that characters truly exist in their own right. I'll have a way to bring them even more intensely to life.
You cannot escape what you have to deal with inside yourself. It will never bring good things. It will only bring madness.
I think that when you don't see the boundaries, you cross them without even knowing they exist in the first place.
