I have understood that the most important things are tenderness and kindness. I can't do without them.

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

I am astonished and surprised that someone could consider making a film about me without talking to me about it.

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

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

Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.

I don't think I was a good comedian.
