I give everything I have to give on the screen. I feel I don't owe the public anything else.

Often, when you see yourself on the screen, you feel like a sweater that's been put through the washing machine. You have the impression of having done something full and luminous, and suddenly, when you see it on the screen, it's turned back into a tiny little thing.

I wouldn't say I was a rebel as such, but I certainly wasn't right at school.

It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema.

I dream about singing. I would love to sing and write.

When I'm playing a part, I can feel all my body playing it; it's like really making love.

Of course I am political. You 'ave to be don't you? Every day it is about your future, your right to that future. 'Ow can people ignore this? We 'ave to leave a good world for our children, n'est-ce pas?
