My father was a sun, always positive. He was simple, unpretentious - more peasant than actor. My father was a sun, always positive. He was simple, unpretentious - more peasant than actor.

Despite the incredible career, she was so aware of all the things that can happen in an actor's life. And she was saying, "My life is not a regular actor's life. It's very rare to have actors who work so much, who've known such filmmakers." So she always told me, "If you become an actor, it doesn't mean you're going to have an incredible life like your father and I have had." Hide

But my mother, she gives me a lot. I didn't question myself about how my father would think today, because in a way she talks for him. Hide

The tenderness - him being so nice onscreen? He was like this in life, it's true. On the opposite side my mother is completely different from the image people have of her. My father you get what you see. My mother is the shyest person, you would not imagine. And she's funny. She's much more funny than people think. It's like an animal, the moment a dog is scared, it's going to bite you. And I think some people we think they're terrifying, but themselves, they are terrified. Her beauty didn't help - also, that terrifying beauty - but she's the opposite. My mother is someone who likes to garden, she likes to cook, she likes to play cards, she's fun. She's not the scary thing. But I understand because I've always met people who were so scared of her. It's unfair for her, because she's so much more than cold. What she shows onscreen is so different from what she is in life. Hide
