I have to live with both my selves as best I may.
— Brigitte Bardot
I am really not interested in the cinema. I loathed it when I started six years ago, and I don't enjoy it even now.
I am all right when I work. I am not superficial and I am not ungrateful.
I absolutely loathe luxury. It is the one thing I cannot stand.
Film-making was not at all what I had expected.
I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.
I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one.
It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
I have not always loved wisely, but I was young.
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 am against marriage, and I don't give a fig for society.
Have you ever heard of a good marriage growing in front of the cameras?
Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.
I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.
It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
I have no private life at all. I am a hunted woman. I can't take a step without being questioned and surrounded.
I am no mother, and I won't be one.
I am 30, but there are things about me that are still 15.
Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.
Do you have to have a reason for loving?
I don't think when I make love.
Men are beasts and even beasts don't behave as they do.
