I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting, something connected to the fine arts.
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
The paparazzi are nothing but dogs of war.
It's very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.
Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.
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.
