I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.

Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.

Percentages are why I am rich.

I know what sin is.

I know very few Americans, though I like the way they think. They think big.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I am no mother, and I won't be one.

They may call me a sinner, but I am at peace with myself.

I was just a cheap little starlet hardly acting at all in a very mediocre film.

It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I am against marriage, and I don't give a fig for society.

If this fame, which people call my lucky break, were to stop tomorrow, I shouldn't care.

I have not always loved wisely, but I was young.

My soul is not my own any more. I cannot live like I want to. I am going to give up films.

I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.

Men are beasts and even beasts don't behave as they do.

I don't think when I make love.

I have to live with both my selves as best I may.

Have you ever heard of a good marriage growing in front of the cameras?

People are forever finding something wrong with you.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves.

Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

Vadim was both my teacher and my husband. I placed myself entirely in his hands.

I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one.

I am all right when I work. I am not superficial and I am not ungrateful.

I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

I leave before being left. I decide.

I never do anything by chance.

If I go to a restaurant, other people stare. The meal is ruined.

Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.

I am 30, but there are things about me that are still 15.

I absolutely loathe luxury. It is the one thing I cannot stand.

What does it mean, being a woman?

Do you have to have a reason for loving?

Film-making was not at all what I had expected.

It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.

I am really not interested in the cinema. I loathed it when I started six years ago, and I don't enjoy it even now.

If only every man who sees my films did not get the impression he can make love to me, I would be a lot happier.

I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.

It's better to be unfaithful than faithful without wanting to be.

James Stewart was so kind and considerate and had such personal integrity.

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.

I have no private life at all. I am a hunted woman. I can't take a step without being questioned and surrounded.

I am not finding pregnancy much of a joy. I am afraid of childbirth, but I am afraid I can't find a way of avoiding it.

Vadim changed my mind about acting. Vadim was the only man who was certain I had something special to offer.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

Among Muslims, I think there are some who are very good and some hoodlums, like everywhere.
