You're much better off as a love goddess to die around the age of 40.

No one has taken my heart in their hand. I haven't given it... I have lent myself, rented myself out, but never given myself.

The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence, vulnerability and elegance.

Men still assume I must be like the girl I played in 'Emmanuelle.' John Wayne was never accused of killing people during his free time, but I'm forever stuck with the image of 'Emmanuelle.' The truth is, I should have got an Oscar for that role because I'm nothing like that woman.

Self confidence for me is a fragile fleece.

I like this other world, this forgetting of myself. The actor works in order to escape, not to find himself. You become an actor by leaving yourself, and then you have to keep acting. How tragic!
