I learned so much from other actors and they definitely didn't treat me like some sex bomb or bimbo. I felt fully accepted in the regular movie world. I didn't feel categorised.

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

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

My mother was Protestant, and in her mind life was more about work and obligations and responsibilities.

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.
