I have understood that the most important things are tenderness and kindness. I can't do without them.

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

I don't think when I make love.

Success is unpredictable and fragile.

It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.

Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

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

I am shocking, impertinent and insolent that's how it is.

There is a certain dignity to being French.

Champagne is the one thing that gives me zest when I am tired.

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

I wanted to be myself. Only myself.

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

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

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

Fashion may not be a weapon of the woman but at least it gives her the ammunition.

When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life.

I don't believe in censorship.

Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school.
