“I never felt scandal and confession were necessary to be an actress. I’ve never revealed my self or even my body in films. Mystery is very important.”

I’m no syllogism incarnate, but my wife makes me look like Immanuel Kant.

It’s fantastic because I’ve been living thousands of lives, not only my life.

It is with passion and dedication that I will be attentive to the needs of women and fight relentlessly for their rights.

What’s incredible is that I’m 75 and still working.

Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. As you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you’ve got less to sell.

There is no pure success. I am action actor. I have broken almost every piece of my body.

Method actors are like hams.

If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it’s because I put the character first.
