Panic is highly contagious, especially in situations when nothing is known and everything is in flux.

A pretext-not a cause-is sufficient for us to enter the “solitary situation”, the situation of the dreaming solitude. In this solitude, memories arrange themselves in tableaux. Decor takes precedence over drama. Sad memories take on at least the peace of melancholy.
It’s pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.
I never make a film with a message in mind. I’m more interested in the characters; how they are related to each other and the situation they’re in.

When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them; to live inthe great world outside movies; to meet people who created their own situations through living them; who ad-libbed their own dialogue; whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.

If a hundred people want autographs, sometimes you have to say no because you’ve got to get up for a 4 A.M. flight or something. In that sense, it really pisses me off when people think you’ve become a diva. It’s not becoming a diva, it’s because of the situation, I think.
That’s why I’ve never thought of retiring because I do it all the time whether on the stage or off. I found that in a precarious situation, a smile is the shortest distance between people. When one needs to reach out for sympathy or a link with people, what better way is there?

I’m not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I’m not a rock star. I’m not in it for the fame, I’m in it because I like to play.
Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
