Truffaut loved actresses, and he was very intense. All the actresses I knew wanted to do a film with him.
All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.
People don't know very much about me. They do not know what really goes on in my private life.
Getting older is not nice for anyone, not for men, not for women, and even more difficult for people who depend on their physical appearance. But it's not a drama. I know some people who are much more stressed than I am. And also, I live in Europe; I think it would be much more difficult if I lived in America.
You'll be back. When the hunger knows no reason! And then you'll need to feed, and you'll need me to show you how.
You can tell how nervous I am by how fast I am talking!
Charm and perfection hardly cooperate. Charm premises little mistakes which one would like to cover.
I would love to work with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. I think they're wonderful actors.
I'm so popular it's scary sometimes. I suppose I'm just everybody's type.
I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.
I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.
That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
I get irritated, nervous, very tense or stressed, but never bored.
I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.
