I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.

We older women in Europe are lucky not to be shoved away in a drawer.

I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.

I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.

After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.

Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.

I was very lost as a teenager. Which is a horrible way to feel.
