I was always sad as a child, for as long as I can think back. I hated crowds of people, and used to sit in a corner by myself, just thinking.

I always look well when I'm near death.

I want to be left alone.

I've always wanted two lives - one for the movies, one for myself.

The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.

I live like a monk: with one toothbrush, one cake of soap, and a pot of cream.

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.
