I really wanted to work and become independent.

Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.

Compared to dancing, films seemed to me to be the work of lay bums. There was no physical pain; it was enough to say and imagine what was in the script. It was very easy for me.

I didn't go to school a lot.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.

The actress they'd hired had refused to appear naked in front of the camera. I didn't like to appear naked either, but the first thing I did was take off my clothes and jump into the pool completely naked.
