I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.

If I thought of myself as a movie star, I'd be an idiot. I don't know anyone who thinks like that. I don't even know movie stars who think like that.

I'm not a politician; I'm lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

I think people respect my work, but I was never in one of those movies that made me a star.

As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
