Giving birth is like a vase of beautiful flowers. Only you're just the vase, and only for a very short moment. The flowers are beautiful, but they belong to themselves, not to the vase.
I knew I had become a star when I shook hands with Simone Signoret at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. She died four months later.
Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life...I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Maruerite Dumas and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.
French women bloom at 40! I can't wait.
My earliest memory is loneliness. That's a hard thing to live with.
What makes a person sexy is when he's not trying to be sexy.
If a star is someone who gives light, then I can be a star. But if a star is someone who goes after money and magazine covers then it's sick and I don't want it.
I have been proposed to four times. Twice at the beginning of a relationship and twice at the end of a relationship. I've never said no. I just didn't give an answer.
My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.
I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
Well, and also there's too much violence, you know? Violence just to have violence. Or sex just to be sexy--just to sell the movie. And that just makes me sick, and I don't feel like doing it. I think a film shouldn't be made for commercial purposes. It has to come from inside the producer, director, actors, writer and crew. It shouldn't be about what's on the outside, only about the inside.
