ON FALLING IN LOVE WITH HER CO-STARS:

(Laughs) Okay, let me answer that! First of all, actors spend so much time at work, that most of the people we meet are usually other actors. So of course, you’re most likely to meet someone at the place you’re most often at. So to answer your question, yes, actors do tend to fall in love with other actors. But that’s not always the case. Of course I got to know Daniel because we spent so much time working together. It’s only logical and it’s something I understand. I mean, it’s much more logical to meet someone on the set of the movie then it is to meet someone on the street who you know nothing about. Do you fall in love easily?For me to fall in love I have to spend a lot of time with you. I don’t believe in love at first sight. I have to get to know the person. I don’t just look at a person and think, “That’s the one for me.” That’s impossible. I need to see that person for months before there are those kinds of feelings.

STARTS TO CRY OVER HER PAST AND GOOD FORTUNE:

My life would be a novel about this little girl who grew up poor in this small town and almost like magic was discovered by a person who just happened to be passing by. (Starts to cry) It so rarely happens. But what is important to say here is people should always have hope. Miracles truly do happen in life. People are offered one miracle in life and sometimes they’re offered a few miracles. But not everybody knows how to identify those miracles. Do you know what I’m saying? Sometimes people have those miracles and they just don’t know how to grab them. The moment passes and it’s too late. It was right there in front of them. It was now or never and they let it go. That’s what is important to my story. Yes, the miracle happened to me but I didn’t let it pass.

ON POSING NUDE FOR PLAYBOY:

It’s been offered to me and I’ve refused. I’ve been offered Playboy from everywhere. Not just the American Playboy. I’ve been offered French Playboy as well as other countries. They all have called my agent. And we’ve refused all of them. But they just keep calling and offering money but we refuse. How much money?(Laughs) I don’t know! But I refuse because I don’t need to do it. I’ve done it for movies, but not to show off my body. I only did it because it was required by the directors. And let me tell you, the directors have to really talk me into it. They have to beg me. It’s not like, “Oh, you want me to take my clothes off? Fine!” I just don’t need Playboy now. What do I have to prove?

ON NUDE LOVE SCENES:

As a model I got very comfortable being nude. It didn’t happen right away. It was little by little. It took me a while to be that comfortable with my body. I did a lot of body make up modeling so I got very used to it. But at the same time it’s not easy to be naked when there’re a hundred people standing around you. It’s not like I just drop my clothes in a second for whatever reason. I only did it in certain movies where it was really required. But I have no problem doing love scenes as long as it’s not pornographic or too dirty. It has to be shot with taste and nice lighting. There’s a way to shoot nude love scenes that I can understand. But I won’t do free nudity for no reason. That I just won’t do.
