Catherine Deneuve

“I am not a nostalgic person. I don't look back.”

“You don't have to be beautiful to be wildly attractive.”

“I prefer to be with people who are alive and kicking, and not passively waiting for something to happen to them.”

“Love is suffering. One side always loves more.”

“I don't find the same things funny that many other people do. I'm a cynical person.”

“I've always been a very private person. I like to be alone a lot.”

“I think beauty is a form of discipline.”

“Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.”

“I have been very, very lucky because I have worked with some of the greatest directors of my time.”

“My private life is my private life.”

“I can't imagine a life without films.”

“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.”

“Perfume is the most intense form of memory.”

“I admire women who are not afraid to be who they are.”
