Sex is a big question mark. It is something people will talk about forever.
I don't enjoy. I suffer from enjoying. It's very Christian.
I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts.
There are relatively few role models for young people. We are in a society that is ruled by men.
A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.
To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.
I wouldn't say no to being in a film with Jude Law. I love English actors.
It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.
I never hoped that both my children would become actors. I expected them to do something else.
I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working.
This book was company for me - I wrote these things when I was in hotels, far from where I normally live. I never intended to publish it.
On Belle de Jour, the producer was very protective. It was very hard for me.
I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.
Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.
Marriage is obsolete and a trap.
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
The story is more important to me than the part.
I did important films when I was very young.
You can express a lot of things, a lot of action without speaking.
I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.
I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.
Film is a very young art that is still evolving. Soon, we shall reach a balance between content and technology.
Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.
I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants.
People expect a lot more from someone they think looks interesting. It's a burden.
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.
Love is suffering. One side always loves more.
I was never a dangerous woman. I'm not the prissy blonde woman that could take your husband away.
You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today.
That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
I can be very critical on myself and on other people; I can be very demanding.
You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.
People don't know very much about me. They do not know what really goes on in my private life.
