[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 have never put a gun to anyone's head to obligate him to marry me.
I never left France for Hollywood nor stashed my money in Switzerland.
I never force myself to dance or sing.
I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.
I wanted to be myself. Only myself.
