 All fiction becomes autobiographical when the author has true talent. |
| When I'm acting, I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera, making sure I hit my marks, and there is the one driven by this inner fire, this delicious fear. |
| When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending. |
| Sometimes the directors were afraid of what they brought out of me. |
| To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it. |
| I can't belong to groups. I've tried. I behave normally, but people don't look at me normally. |
| People's opinions don't interfere with me. |
| Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story. |
| Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful. |
| I can be intimidating, but not within the confines of a film shoot. |
| I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me. |
| When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art. |
| Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age. |
| Knowing how to die is knowing how to live. What is death anyway? It's the outcome of life. |
| Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist. |
| I need, absolutely, to be alone. |
| I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself. |
| My aim in life is not to judge. |
| What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change. |
| As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead. |
