When you are happy and in love and when you have children, then maybe you are beautiful.
When I'm playing a part, I can feel all my body playing it; it's like really making love.
Very often with an American movie, the end is very happy and you just feel good when you go out. When you go to a French movie, it's kind of like, oh!, and you can't go out; you're stuck in your chair. It goes so deeply inside of the heart.
There is a phrase in French, which means 'to miss.' To pass by. To not be able to stop. You love someone and someone loves you, but it just can't work for different reasons.
The press follow me. I sue them. That's the deal.
The body is an actor's tool, like the face, malleable. I never thought that being naked was immoral or outrageous.
If I have one thing perfect, it's my eyebrows. And my feet. I love my feet. They're like Japanese feet. The rest I would like to hide. Especially my freckles. I feel ridiculous.
The body, in 'La Belle Noiseuse,' was the source of the artist's creativity.
My looks mean nothing to me. If anything, they are a hindrance.
My body is an instrument for me to use.
I don't give a damn about Hollywood.
I don't always see my movies right away. And there are some I haven't seen at all. Sometimes that bothers the directors, so I'm obliged to see them.
I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.
I'm trying my best to keep my private life guarded. It's not easy at all. Non, non, non.
