There is a certain dignity to being French.

[Roger] Vadim became famous worldwide as a director, and I as an actress, but the other side of the coin was terrible. My life was totally turned upside down. I was followed, spied upon, adored, insulted. My private life became public.

My mother wanted me to be friends only with children she considered socially suitable.

Unfortunately these are not isolated incidents, and the people of Reunion are the first to be horrified by this despicable barbarity which mars the image of their island.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

I never left France for Hollywood nor stashed my money in Switzerland.

I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.
