A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
Fur is not luxury: it is an industry of death and suffering.
We must boycott fur coats as well as all the accessories.
I leave before being left. I decide.
I am all right when I work. I am not superficial and I am not ungrateful.
Men are beasts and even beasts don't behave as they do.
I have understood that the most important things are tenderness and kindness. I can't do without them.
It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.
My favourite animals are dogs.
You can be barefoot and have worries.
I am a native Frenchwoman and proud of it.
I am greatly misunderstood by politically correct idiots.
Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.
I know what sin is.
If I go to a restaurant, other people stare. The meal is ruined.
I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.
French courts are backward and politically correct, which is the height of stupidity.
I belong to no party, and I am militant for no one.
I tried to make myself as pretty as possible and even then I thought I was ugly. I found it madly difficult to go out, to show myself.
When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life.
I only want to protect animals from barbarous, cruel, inhuman and backward rituals.
Now, if there was one woman in the world who didn't need publicity, who always had too much publicity, it was me.
I don't think when I make love.
I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

It's better to be unfaithful than faithful without wanting to be.
I don't have the time or the desire to gaze at my navel.
I adore my houses - they're my refuge - but I detest more and more Saint-Tropez where it's impossible to live: invaded by tourists, social evenings, all of which I avoid and which terrorises me.
I live the life of a farmer. I don't see how I could wear Lagerfeld's designs while feeding my goats. I have respect for Lagerfeld as a man, but I would have so much more for him if he, in turn, respected animals. We do not live in the same world.
I am not an actress. I can only play me - on and off the screen.
My wild and free side unsettled some, and unwedged others.
Fur is only of use to the animal that wears it.
I am not finding pregnancy much of a joy. I am afraid of childbirth, but I am afraid I can't find a way of avoiding it.
I absolutely loathe luxury. It is the one thing I cannot stand.
