Catherine Deneuve

I don't enjoy. I suffer from enjoying. It's very Christian. ”

I had mice that I kept as pets when I was very young, and I've always liked the way they look. Even rats. I'm not scared of them. ”

Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely. ”

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films. ”

I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not. ”

I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working. ”

That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing. ”

Truffaut loved actresses, and he was very intense. All the actresses I knew wanted to do a film with him. ”

On Belle de Jour, the producer was very protective. It was very hard for me. ”

I get irritated, nervous, very tense or stressed, but never bored. ”
