For me it's not possible to forget, and I don't understand people who, when the love is ended, can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me, a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
I don't think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather I believe it indispensible to talent: if for nothing else than to increase the talent.
Success is like a liberation, or the first phase of a love affair.
People's opinions don't interfere with me. Ageing gracefully is supposed to mean trying not to hide time passing and just looking a wreck. That's what they call ageing gracefully. You know?
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don't learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean.
I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.
As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
All those vitamins aren't to keep death at bay, they're to keep deterioration at bay.
I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.
Some children I have met are very beautiful. Some children are imbeciles, vulgar, terrible.
When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending.
When I'm acting, I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera, making sure I hit my marks, and there is the one driven by this inner fire, this delicious fear.
I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.
I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.
During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.
