I have a strong sense of responsibility. I like to be directed, it's true. If I didn't like that, I'd do something else.

Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.

A lot of actors don't like to see how they've done every day.

When I first see the dailies, I look only at myself, but then you start to see the scene.

The story is more important to me than the part.

I can be very critical on myself and on other people; I can be very demanding.

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.

I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.

I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts.

I didn't devote my life to acting. I give a lot to my work, but my life has always been more important.
