When I go in front of the light - go towards it - it is because it brings me energy. That's all.

I am still associated with a heroic period in French cinema, and my name remains linked to this period.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

The cinema substitutes for our gaze a world more in harmony with our desires.

This new world which is being born is cynical and amnesiac. And it has eliminated perspective.

The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.

Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie.
