There are relatively few role models for young people. We are in a society that is ruled by men.

Hollywood was already changing when I went there in 1968. I love American directors. I would love to work for Francis Ford Coppola or Martin Scorsese. But they don't need European actresses.

When we are filming, I can concentrate very quickly, but it does tire me out. It throws me into such a state! A trance-like state. So, what I need is either a trick for a calm type of trance or a sleepwalking trick.
Catherine Deneuve -
I don't enjoy. I suffer from enjoying. It's very Christian.
