It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.

Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.

I can no longer walk. I can no longer swim. But I'm lucky when I see how animals suffer.

Now, if there was one woman in the world who didn't need publicity, who always had too much publicity, it was me.

The world today doesn't please me.

I knew I had to be the best at something, otherwise I would be nothing. I knew I wanted the world to know about Brigitte Bardot.

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