[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.

I really am a cat transformed into a woman.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I don't think I was a good comedian.

I don't think when I make love.

I never do anything by chance.

I have never put a gun to anyone's head to obligate him to marry me.
