I don't think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather, I believe it indispensable to talent, if for nothing else than to increase the talent.

It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind me and I see the steps. That's where I was.

Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.

Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.

As soon as an actress is past 40, they call her a grande dame. As long as I'm here in good health, I'm stable.

I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.

Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world.
