I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.
There was probably something as a child I wanted to express, something unsaid that I needed to share.
What makes a person sexy is when he's not trying to be sexy.
Oh, I'll be forgotten too, don't worry.
I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.

As an actor, I have to be fulfilled in the roles that I play; it has to be a journey for me to learn something or involve myself.
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life... I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.
