More quotes by Catherine Deneuve
I like some of the early silent films because I love to watch how actors had to play then. What would interest me today is to do a silent film.
Catherine Deneuve
Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
Catherine Deneuve
I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.
Catherine Deneuve
Even if a woman is abused a very long time ago, it comes out in her life in a negative way.
Catherine Deneuve
I can be very critical on myself and on other people I can be very demanding.
Catherine Deneuve
I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.
Catherine Deneuve
The only human being I could tell everything was my sister Françoise. She and I were so diametrically different put together we would have been a fantastic woman.
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
Directors have to push me. I have to be pushed up. Not all the time, but often.
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 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 love to do very long and complicated scenes. I like to have this impression that we are all working together, where you can see all the technicians and everybody is really doing the same thing at the same time. With close-ups, of course you have the crew there, but most of them are just around and it doesn't involve that many people.
Catherine Deneuve
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
Catherine Deneuve
But I never gave up personal things to work, never.
Catherine Deneuve
Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
Catherine Deneuve
Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
Catherine Deneuve
Charm and perfection hardly cooperate. Charm premises little mistakes which one would like to cover.
Catherine Deneuve
I'm so popular it's scary sometimes. I suppose I'm just everybody's type.
Catherine Deneuve
Men are good but women are magic.
Catherine Deneuve
