I can speak Esperanto like a native.

I would love to do film in Spanish.

I speak some Spanish. I would love to go make a movie in Spanish. I'd love to be in an Almodovar movie or an Inarritu.

I was influenced by European movies, old Fellini, old Kurosawa - any sort of foreign film.

I loved movies and went to see every movie I could in Finland.

I did my first movie, 'The Mambo Kings,' in America without speaking the language. I learned the lines phonetically. I had an interpreter actually just to understand directions from my director.

I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.

When I was a girl, there wasn't anything in Spanish in the movies until you saw it on DVD.

I have an Italian comedy at the Venice Film Festival.
