I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.

We all want to escape our circumstances, don't we? Especially if you are an actor.

My films do have characters who have trouble escaping the world around them.

I think the reason I'm an actor is the joy I find from escaping and going to be somebody else. That's what I have fun doing.

This is why I became an actress. So that people will take care of me. To be an actress is a refuge. You are taken everywhere, stay in wonderful hotels, everyone looks after you.

There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.

Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much.

I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great.

I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
