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.

It's just as idiotic to say there is no life after death as it is to say there is one.

I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.

Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.

My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?

For me it's not possible to forget, and I don't understand people who, when the love is ended, can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me, a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.

I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.
