Having been a child actor, I remember how directors would trick me to get good performances out of me. I don't think you need to do that.

I have nothing in my life besides my work. I am obsessed with it. I leave my house only when I'm forced to.

People's attitudes about sex aren't healthy anywhere, except maybe in those tribes where they go around naked.

I always saw myself as really ugly. My father even told me I was ugly because I would shave my head and look like a boy.

I tend to be a lazy actress, unless I'm pushed.

I want to be adopted by the French. I want to go to live in Paris.

I was made for action movies.

I've worked with very few directors who've asked of me what I asked of myself.

Most of the time nothing much is required of directors, which is a pity.

What you might see as depravity is, to me, just another aspect of the human condition.

Why did I spend all these years playing boring Europeans? I was made for action movies.

Italy to me is like the mean mother. Whatever I do, it's never good enough. People say I'm the queen of Cannes, but in Italy I get turned down for work.

Vin Diesel is the best kisser in the world, better than anyone else I've ever had. The most attractive thing about Vin is his brain. That's his most attractive muscle.
