“The world today doesn’t please me.”

I am shocking, impertinent and insolent that’s how it is.

I leave before being left. I decide.

If people don’t like me, I become very plain.

I am all right when I work. I am not superficial and I am not ungrateful.

I would like, before I die, to see the changes I’ve always fought for being made. If not, my life will have been worth nothing.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

Film-making was not at all what I had expected.

People are forever finding something wrong with you.

It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.

Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

I have no private life at all. I am a hunted woman. I can’t take a step without being questioned and surrounded.

I absolutely loathe luxury. It is the one thing I cannot stand.

If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can’t, I’ll stick to animals.

Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.

I have understood that the most important things are tenderness and kindness. I can’t do without them.

I wanted to be myself. Only myself.
