'Swimming Pool' was a very important moment for me because the character was written for me.

When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for 'Swimming Pool' was kind of a burden. Like, OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo and I was having problems coping with that image.

Whatever tension is on set can end up on your face.

Le temps qui change les e" tres ne modifie pas l'image que nous avons garde e d'eux. Although time changes people, it cannot change the image we have already made of them.

The Iraqi troops and the Iraqi fighters are in control of all the places, as we have witnessed, no big change in that. We are fighting against them.

An external thing that is knowable [is knowable] by means of something internal that is consubstantial [with the rational soul].
