I love to do very long and complicated scenes.

Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.

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

I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.

It's always difficult to play a scene of physical violence because you're always afraid that you don't know your own strength and might hurt someone.

A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.

Love is suffering. One side always loves more.

Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects. But sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.

I like all these little animals that run and eat and hide all the time. I like their faces, They seem to be scared and curious at the same time.

Writing takes a pen, a sheet of paper and, to start with, just the shadow of an idea.

I'm glad that my films have been consistently faring well rather than one stray Friday!

I'm the luckiest broad on two feet, I'll tell you that. They say once a woman passes 40 she doesn't get any good parts, so I'm blessed.

And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career.

I stretch in the morning a lot and I do a lot of saunas and steam rooms during fashion week just to keep my blood flowing.

Whether history will judge this war to be different or not we cannot say. But this we can say with certainty: A government and a society that silences those who dissent is one that has lost its way.

Here, in the bare dark face of night A calm unhurried eye draws sight We see in what we think we fear The cloudings of our thought made clear

If fate sends you a lemon, use it to make lemonade.
