Actress

Poland is a country of strong women.

When we are older we are very smart, but when we are younger we don't think we are happy, we have all of life ahead of us.

I'm open. I like new experiences in life and new cultures.

My experience with the National Theatre in Kracow often involved many changes of storyline and character. This was particularly useful when working with a director such as Pawel Pawlikowski who is quite intuitive and demands flexibility in an actor.

I played a bee! It was a Polish fairy tale we performed at school when I was seven or eight. I had wings fixed to me.

My university organised a casting call for a film and I won the role. I played a character who was dying of cancer. I remember in the middle of shooting going, 'Oh my God! Why did I decide to do this?' But people noticed me in it and I started getting invited to castings.

When you play a person who exists in real life, it is different than when you play fiction.

On television, I love 'The Crown,' and 'The Affair' is so psychological.

I never thought of being an actress, I was always singing or playing on the piano.

I think that the two worlds of fashion and acting world have a lot of common things, because we all build a character.

When I was small - I grew up in a village outside of Krakow - my brothers and sisters and I would play folk instruments and make music in our home.

My grandmother would hide bread for when maybe another war would come. You had to be ready.

Sometimes I like to be more simple - simple colours, to be completely empty.

You can't really plan with acting!

I am a very neurotic person all the time.

I was 6 when communism was finished.

Anyone can fall in love.

An actor must take care of her health.

When I was between 18 and 25 it was like I had problem finding the middle of my personality.
