One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I am finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden, so there is a lot of work.
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
I don't think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather, I believe it indispensable to talent, if for nothing else than to increase the talent.
People's opinions don't interfere with me.
When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
I'm always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.
Aging gracefully is supposed to mean trying not to hide time passing and just looking a wreck. Don't worry girls, look like a wreck, that's the way it goes.
All fiction becomes autobiographical when the author has true talent.
Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world.

Being an actress is to be in tune with the fantasies of a man. What woman never dreamt of that?
I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.
I don't feel guilt. Whatever I wish to do, I do.
I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.
I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.
I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.
I need, absolutely, to be alone.
