I never played with anything like toys. I wanted to be grown-up.

I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues.

I only know how to play one role: me.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

If someone gives me a to-do list, I say 'thank you, this is nice.' One needs things to throw in the wastebasket.

I make such big efforts to forget things and I can't tell the story of my life because, thank God, I'm still living it.

In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.
