Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.
I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.
I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.
I don't like the word celebrity. If I become a good actress and be in movies where I'm expected to be a good actress, who is recognised, that's different to being what I consider to be a celebrity. My job is an actor and that's what I'm passionate about and adore. It's a privilege to be able to do this job for a living.

The separation into classes--castes--is our danger. It is the danger of all civilizations.
Anyone over the age of thirty catching a bus can consider himself a failure.
