Of course it's difficult to top a box office success like Emmanuelle, so it will always be my most important work. But that's nothing to be ashamed of.

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.

Self confidence for me is a fragile fleece.

I am a divorced child, of divided, uncertain background. Within this division I - supposed fruit of their love - no longer exist. It happened nearly forty years ago, yet to me nothing is sadder than my parents' divorce.

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

I have to be careful not to be too proud in life, because there is always room for improvement.

I still have agents in France, Los Angeles and Amsterdam who call and suggest parts. I'd love to keep on doing both painting and acting until the end of my days.
