Actress

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.

I like being in groups rather than alone - I'm very open to people.

Yes, I started piano and classical singing, I wanted to study jazz, but I tried to go to the Polish University of Jazz, but they didn't want me. In Krakow, I wanted to conduct, they didn't want me. And I start to think, 'I have to do something.' In Krakow there was drama and music. I started to study.

I grew up in a small village outside of Krakow, and when I was small we had only a small television, and we had only one and two programs. I remember it was black and white. And I loved to watch Charlie Chaplin. I was so small, but I remember his movement.

Being from the countryside gave me a spine, and it's why I'm so accepting - I don't judge people for how they look or how they talk... I just accept everyone.

An actor must take care of her health.

You can't really plan with acting!

I'm not a professional dancer.

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

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 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.

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.

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

I like the French kind of style because it's simple and minimal. I have blonde hair and big lips, and when I do too much I think sometimes I don't look very well, you know?

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

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

Poland is a country of strong women.
