The body, in 'La Belle Noiseuse,' was the source of the artist's creativity.

I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.

If I have one thing perfect, it's my eyebrows. And my feet. I love my feet. They're like Japanese feet. The rest I would like to hide. Especially my freckles. I feel ridiculous.

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

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

I was a very bad student. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn't want to go farther in school. I hated school and was always the bad one; I was always insulting the teachers.

I am an actress, I earn money, I am well-known. I don't think it is altruism to become engaged in humanitarian work. It's the least one can do.
