Charm and perfection hardly cooperate. Charm premises little mistakes which one would like to cover.

Sometimes, just to give the impression that you have the strength and the vitality demands a lot. You can't always give that impression when you have heels and a wig on and it's 40 degrees outside.

But being a film actor is very different from, say, a theater actor. You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration. So I am very involved with the character, but I have to leave it as soon as it's finished. And also, you always have to be at the right level when it's time to shoot, which is not always the best time for the actor. Sometimes, if you're shooting a complicated scene, you have to stay in a position and wait for the technician to do his job, and then you have to be where you're supposed to be, right on the spot. You don't rehearse all that much on films. If I think of the amount of time I spend on set compared with the time spent shooting, it's ridiculously short.
Catherine Deneuve -
To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.
Catherine Deneuve -
I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.
Catherine Deneuve -
You can express a lot of things, a lot of action without speaking.
