Acting is really a give-and-take; it's a dance.
Movies were my first love.
I'm a surprisingly good rapper.
I love what I do so much, and I have a very acute understanding of how I work as a person, so if I'm afraid, I shut down and can't do anything. If I'm overwhelmed, I shut down and can't do anything.
I have always believed in magic. I used to run into the woods as a little kid looking for witches. But I'm not superstitious, because I m not afraid of it. I see it as something really beautiful, and I wouldn't want to live in a world without magic.
I think I just really understand what it is to feel like you don't fit in, within your society, within your world, within your family, within whatever. I've always felt like an odd duck so I really understood that.
To me, it always comes down to character and script and then director. If a character belongs to me, it's mine. We belong to each other, and I feel a fierce need to tell that story, and it just so happens that a lot of these characters have been residing in pretty dark worlds.
I don't lie very well!
Even the strongest bonds, flesh and blood, they can just evaporate in a second given the right conditions.
It was very difficult to leave Argentina when I was kid, so I only spoke Spanish for the first six years of my life.
I don't know what kind of career I want to forge for myself. But I want it to be one where I love the work that I've done. And I like to think that I have good instincts.
I think, probably, the place that I feel I most belong is a movie set.
I'm a hugger and a lover and a dancer!
I'd love to work with the Coen brothers. And Steven Spielberg. 'E.T.' was big for me.
I've been very lucky with the roles that I've played in that they were wonderful roles for women. They're incredible, flawed characters that I really gravitate toward. I just never want anybody to be able to put me in a box.
I just want to work with wonderful people.
I think we have a very Disneyfied, sterilized version of what an evil witch is nowadays.
I can't do something that I would not throw myself under a bus for.
I think, probably, the place that I feel I most belong is a movie set. It doesn't matter where it is in the world or who I'm making the movie with; that's the closest thing that I've got to a sense of placement. So I guess acting was a way of finding a home, if that makes sense.
Modeling had never entered my consciousness. I was always like, 'I'm going to act.' But I thought, 'If this can help me with that, great.'
