Age does not protect you from love. But love to some extent, protects you from age.
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
Making films is no longer a way of acting, it is a way of life.
Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind me and I see the steps. That's where I was.
I have no doubt who I am.
During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.
Life doesn't end at 30.
I've never worried about age.
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
Living is risking.
The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important.
My life is very exciting now.
We have so many words for states of the mind, and so few for states of the body.

Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist.
You should not separate your life from what you do.
When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending.
When I'm acting, I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera, making sure I hit my marks, and there is the one driven by this inner fire, this delicious fear.
What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
Sometimes the directors were afraid of what they brought out of me.
Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.
Some gods may cross your path, but why should gods be beautiful? They could also be frightening.
Some children I have met are very beautiful. Some children are imbeciles, vulgar, terrible.
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.
