Quote

I am an entertainer. Cinema is entertainment. It is nothing more than that.

My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.

I know I'm not some matinee idol, but I think we're sold this bill of goods by the media, which says that only the most beautiful and dashing people can become movie stars. So when someone like me sneaks in, they have to redo the calculations.

I am a movie star.

I never thought of myself as a movie star. I'm just a working girl. A working girl who worked her way to the top - and never fell off.

I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

I'm not a movie star. I'm just an actress.

As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.

I am a great movie buff, and I devour films regularly.

I felt privileged to be a facet of such a jewel in the crown of American cinema.
