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

My soul is not my own any more. I cannot live like I want to. I am going to give up films.

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

[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 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.

I am greatly misunderstood by politically correct idiots.
