Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.

My body is a baby machine.

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 just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.

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

French culture takes ageing very seriously. There's much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries.

We all come in different shapes and sizes, and that's fine by me.
