-

“Ik wilde tot stilstand komen om nieuwe perspectieven te vinden. Bekend en beroemd zin was een grote factor in mijn leven, ik deed mijn eerste reclamespotje toen ik vijf was, erna kwam modellenwerk en op mijn elfde speelde ik in mijn eerste grote bioscoopfilm. Het was het begin van een grote liefde in mijn leven, acteren. Als je tot je veertigste zichtbaar bent, is het ook interessant om even stil te staan bij jezelf, zonder die spotlights. Ik geniet van het vertragen van mijn leven, ik heb de kracht van rust ervaren. In stilstand zit de vooruitgang.”

“I wanted to slow down to find new perspectives. Fame and recognition have played a significant role in my life. I did my first commercial when I was five, followed by modelling, and at eleven, I appeared in my first major movie. That was the start of a great passion in my life: acting. When you have been in the spotlight until the age of forty, it’s interesting to take a moment to reflect on yourself without that attention. I enjoy slowing down my life and have experienced the power of rest. There is progress in stillness.”
