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

Animals have never betrayed me. They are an easy prey, as I have been throughout my career. So we feel the same. I love them.

I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

If I upset some notions and went against established rules, that wasn't part of what I wanted to do. It wasn't my goal.

On the outside one is a star. But in reality, one is completely alone, doubting everything. To experience this loneliness of soul is the hardest thing in the world.

You can be barefoot and have worries.

The myth of Bardot is finished, but Brigitte is me.
