“I am always afraid of explaining what I am doing, because my mind works so perversely. If I know why I am doing something it immediately goes to another channel and I try not to do that anymore. So in any interview there is a possibility that I have to leave the interview and change my entire life. I think I'll stop now and let the works answer the questions. To much information is an obstacle to seeing. My works are created to be seen.”

“I was actually looking forward to it. I just want to play my character, and it does not matter what age I am playing. If I have played the journey from a spinster to a married lady in the show, then why should I have a problem playing a mother? This is something I owe to the show.”

God has given me this new chance.”
