I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures".

I wasn't there [in U.S] when the city was bombed but it seems to have changed my friends.

I never thought heroin was very chic.

I don't think of Maria Schneider like idol anymore, because I worshipped her when I was young.

One of the things I love so much about Valerie [Belin] is that she inhabits her body so completely. She has no self-consciousness about having stretch marks or having given birth. It's just so amazing that she has nothing to hide. Whereas all these other women see every little - supposed - imperfection - anything irregular is seen as an imperfection.

Some people have become [in U.S] a lot more conservative but I can't really speak about that because I wasn't there. I feel compassion for their pain but it distresses me to see them all become more patriotic.

[I want to] refuting the whole idea that there is only one way to look; that women have to be so skinny to look good; that they have to be 12 years old and wearing clothes that only women in their 30s and 40s can afford.
