I can be very critical on myself and on other people; I can be very demanding.

Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.

I would love to work with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. I think they're wonderful actors.

I don't enjoy. I suffer from enjoying. It's very Christian.

I think I will always feel a special relationship with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, because for me it was something very, very special. It was a modern opera, and to play the heroine in a film that became such a success at a young age, and learning from him when I was so young and impressionable - really it was one of my most important experiences.

Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.

The only human being I could tell everything was my sister Françoise. She and I were so diametrically different; put together we would have been a fantastic woman.
