Zitat des Tages von Isabelle Adjani:
If I had not passed through trial - through passion, one could say - through these years so painful and so rich, I don't believe I could take on my life and my career as I do today.
There are people who never experience that, who remain closed until death, from fear of change.
One believes that if nothing happens, one disappears. That is not true.
I loved my freedom as an adolescent, and I'd love to be an adolescent again.
Simply, the majority of the most interesting filmmakers are the ones confronted with difficult situations. Their creativity blows a hole in the wall and lets in the light.
One can be emptied out and be filled up.
Life has brought me work to do on myself these past two years.
I have no fear of being less beautiful, I've always been afraid of not being beautiful.
People tell me I'm doing all these intense women and that I should lighten up. Then I do a comedy that I'm not happy with, and I think, 'Let's go back to heavy, heart-breaking drama; it's so much more fun.'
I took the test for AIDS. I began to hate people who were not sick. Those people are monsters, I would think, believing that they are well because of moral superiority, because they are good. I identified with the loneliness of the sick. I felt that there was something pure about them.
But no one frees himself from being in love in three days.
American hypocrisy consists of thinking that everything is serious; French hypocrisy is to think that nothing is serious.
I talked about the persecution of Algerians and told about racism in my childhood. And it was as if, after that, I wasn't French anymore.
I do not want to work to correspond to an image.
Passion is all but soft, it's not tender, it's violence to which you get hooked by pleasure.
I've learned that to expose yourself, to reveal yourself is a test of your humanness.
I like films that rest in the memory, so I try and choose parts which have some kind of social or emotional force.
One is never ready for success. It consecrates and looses you at the same time.
I've suffered too much to hide my feelings.
In love, one should simplify, choose persons worthy of their promises and leave them if they don't keep them.
I'm in an agreeable state: busy, enthusiastic, curious.
Passion surprises. One doesn't search it. It can happen to you tomorrow.
To change, that is the most difficult thing to accomplish.
Before, for me, peace could have been synonymous with boredom.
You must take the risk to disclose yourself in order to become more real, more human. And even if the price is high.
Today I trust my instinct, I trust myself. Finally.
There has already been the karmic work: that what life has transformed in me, this initiation brought on, of necessity, by trials.
I don't think of it at the moment, but the roles that interest me are those of young people.
There has also been much love, joy, evidence of admiration, there has never been one without the other.
You protect your being when you love yourself better. That's the secret.
I went on French television for 20 minutes. It was very embarrassing to have to say, 'I'm not dead. I'm well. I'm not ill, and I don't have AIDS.' I hated doing it, because it was so insulting to those who really did have AIDS.
Algeria keeps me awake at night. What about you?
It doesn't need to be that violent and crazy and wild. Having experienced it, you don't belong to yourself anymore. You belong to the passion... It's something you have to go through to learn what passion is about.
I find the heated political debate over the burkini both ridiculous and dangerous.
Nothingness not being nothing, nothingness being emptiness.
One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.
