I initially moved to Switzerland for work on an animated feature film, and have been here ever since.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The truth is I studied fine arts in Switzerland. I was just interested. I had no dream of being a movie star.
I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.
I've been lucky enough to build a career outside of America, where I got 18 years and over 60 films of experience.
My main place is in Switzerland, but I live on a plane, really.
I went to Yugoslavia to make a movie. People saw me there and asked me to do a movie in Germany. And that led to a movie in Italy. Before I knew it, I was in Europe for most of the next 10 years.
My plan was to stay in Canada to make films.
When I started acting, there were parts in English that I thought I just had to try it out and go to another country. I did a film in Ireland. It was my first film abroad.
I left Canada to come to Hollywood to make movies.
I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.
I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.
