I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting.

I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting. The more different they are, the bigger the challenge.

I liked pretending to be other people: I could reinvent myself, reinvent my own reality.

Pretending to be other people is my game and that to me is the essence of the whole business of acting.

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

Since I think I am very boring in normal life, I tend to hide behind all these exciting characters, making people believe that I am someone else entirely. That feeling is very powerful.

The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.

I think the whole reason I act is because it's much more fun to be somebody else. I'm pretty boring.

To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is very liberating and exciting.

I don't believe in pretending to be someone else. I'm what I actually am in real life. For instance, like any normal girl, I fight with my mother. I mean, it is just fine. In fact, I fight daily with my mother.
