I think animals help us live; they've helped me live. It was only when I began to devote myself to protecting animals that I blossomed completely. Taking care of them, looking out for them, has given my life true meaning, a meaning I hope future generations can experience.

I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.

I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

I was just a cheap little starlet hardly acting at all in a very mediocre film.

Nobody has any security in loving me.

Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.

I have no private life at all. I am a hunted woman. I can't take a step without being questioned and surrounded.
