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!

Self confidence for me is a fragile fleece.

I love to invent - avoiding the truth. I need to dramatize.

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.

I don't expect too much from the afterlife, I think that I know very well what pain is. When I think of the end of my life, I think mainly: I didn't do nothing, but I could have done more.

I have a talent for happiness. I look with the eyes of a painter, and I see beauty.

I'm very glad to have something to be passionate about. I can't imagine a life without passion.
