I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie.

When I was 16, I felt very relieved to discover cinema. It was like an island where I could see life and death from another perspective. Every young person should be interested in that island. It's a beautiful place.

I was raised in a family where cinema was a way of life. It was not only about making films, it was relationship, passion, love, everything at the same time.

I'm a student of cinema in general, not just of one particular genre. So it was very important to me and to my soul to go out and do something different.

I don't need a fantasy life as once I did. That is the life of the imagination that I had a great need for. Films were the perfect means for satisfying that need.

I like the theater enormously, but I truly love films - the whole bizarre, boring process that it can be.

I've always loved musical films; I find them really thrilling and exciting; it was part of what made me want to be an actress, that feeling of being really transported.

I was fortunate because my mum shared my love of film with me, so we would go to the movies twice, three times a week, and we would watch movies at home. As a teenager, instead of going out, we would have these huge movie nights in. But I almost failed drama at school. I hated it. It was all about the history of theatre.

Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.
