If only every man who sees my films did not get the impression he can make love to me, I would be a lot happier.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

The first time that I came to Cannes, I think it was in 1953, I was 18 and unknown.

I would like, before I die, to see the changes I've always fought for being made. If not, my life will have been worth nothing.

I am really not interested in the cinema. I loathed it when I started six years ago, and I don't enjoy it even now.

I leave before being left. I decide.

If I go to a restaurant, other people stare. The meal is ruined.
