Vadim was both my teacher and my husband. I placed myself entirely in his hands.

I leave before being left. I decide.

Was it me that Botticelli imagined?

Champagne is the one thing that gives me zest when I am tired.

I wanted to be myself. Only myself.

The first time that I came to Cannes, I think it was in 1953, I was 18 and unknown.

My soul is not my own any more. I cannot live like I want to. I am going to give up films.
