#me

My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia? ↗

Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world. ↗

Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge. ↗

I think more and more people want to live alone. You can be a couple without being in each other's pockets. I don't see why you have to share the same bathroom. ↗

Some gods may cross your path, but why should gods be beautiful? They could also be frightening. ↗

Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself. ↗

As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don't learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean. ↗

I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me. ↗

I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself. ↗

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self. ↗
