More quotes by Catherine Deneuve
Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
Catherine Deneuve
I like working with directors much, because I want to be able to give myself completely to their vision. Otherwise I would only do what I could do, again and again. I want to be taken by someone in a different direction.
Catherine Deneuve
I love to do very long and complicated scenes.
Catherine Deneuve
Film is a very young art that is still evolving. Soon, we shall reach a balance between content and technology.
Catherine Deneuve
I have no physical courage, I've asked for a double.
Catherine Deneuve
But I never gave up personal things to work, never.
Catherine Deneuve
I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
Catherine Deneuve
Charm and perfection hardly cooperate. Charm premises little mistakes which one would like to cover.
Catherine Deneuve
You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.
Catherine Deneuve
I'm not an admirer of action movies. I just think, Oh my God, it must be so tiring.
Catherine Deneuve
You can tell how nervous I am by how fast I am talking!
Catherine Deneuve
I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants. Then if something happens to remind me that I'm an actress then I become a little different and things become a little heavy.
Catherine Deneuve
I'm afraid of being too sure, to just deliver. I think that's the biggest danger for actors - after a certain time, when you're known and recognised, people expect you to do what you're supposed to do, and there's almost no more criticism and that's very dangerous.
Catherine Deneuve
Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.
Catherine Deneuve
I always try to keep that feeling of being on the edge. I'm afraid of knowing too well and seeming mechanical.
Catherine Deneuve
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
Catherine Deneuve
When I first see the dailies, I look only at myself, but then you start to see the scene.
Catherine Deneuve
It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.
Catherine Deneuve
I love to not work. I love to go to the movies, I like to travel... I think I work maybe half the year. Sometimes, people think I've done three films in a year, but it's because I did a participation [cameo?] in a film. But I work for half a year, no more.
Catherine Deneuve
All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.
Catherine Deneuve
