"Before I do a play I say that I hope it's going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It's like a drug."

"I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way."
Beginning

Tragedy

Character

"I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work."

Experience

"It really helps you to go through difficult situations by just thinking about it as being a big amount of work which you have to solve how to do. For example, I don't feel very inspired when I act, I just act. That's it."
Work

"I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything."
