“My cinema – the ’50s, ’60s – is different from the cinema today so I thought that it would not be bad to show that kind of cinema where we could dream.”

I want to leave a souvenir of my life.

I do what I like now. I just don’t have time for it all.

We are all born to die – the difference is the intensity with which we choose to live.

I have experience seducing nephews.

Popularity has a bright side, it unlocks many doors. But the truth is that I don’t like it very much because it changes the private life into a very small thing.

I studied painting and sculpting at school and became an actress by mistake …. I’ve had many lovers and still have romances. I am very spoiled. All my life, I’ve had too many admirers.

Glamour is when a man knows a woman is a woman.

A woman at 20 is like ice, at 30 she is warm and at 40 she is hot.

For a woman to be considered a celebrated beauty is not exactly a bad thing. I think we have to say that in all reality.

From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

I’m good for some things, bad for a lot of things.

Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don’t have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else’s day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.

Nothing is more confusing than people who give good advice but set a bad example.

If your sanity requires you to talk less and feel more, so be it. You are not a bad person for not entertaining everyone.

The gratification comes, for me, in the doing of it. And once I’ve done it, I can’t do anything about it if it’s good or if it’s bad.

And I’ve been hurt hurt bad. I might be just twenty-six, but I’m an old woman in disguise twenty-six goin’on sixty-five.
