| Quotes: |
With Wolfgang Petersen, we were always the only two ready at time and the first on the set during the filming of Troy (2004). The German rigour without a doubt.
<br />
<hr>
It was something strange for me, to kiss Orlando. I was so embarassed! It is not as fun as people think to shoot love scenes. You feel vulnerable, and there are about 100 people looking at you.
<br />
<hr>
I'm a little bit worried about this sudden success. I am quite independent and I'm afraid that this privilege could escape from me.
<br />
<hr>
[on Helen of Troy in Troy (2004)] Her beauty didn't do her any good and she couldn't use it in any positive way or manipulative way.
<br />
<hr>
Sometimes it takes courage and experience to allow yourself to actually go there, and it's the most liberating thing to let go. I do think that's why I love acting - you're right, it's being someone that you're not. And sometimes you're really scared of it, and then once you let yourself go there, it's the best thing ever. |
