But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

Maybe it's because my mother divorced and my grandmother divorced, so maybe I'm frightened deep down. But then I also feel there is no real need. Why do I need to get married? To reassure me? No I don't need reassurance.

Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.
