I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.

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
Image
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.

Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
I like all these little animals that run and eat and hide all the time. I like their faces, They seem to be scared and curious at the same time.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
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.

The story is more important to me than the part.

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.

What I do is I come in the morning and get involved in the character, but I'm always very pleased to leave it at night and have my life.

All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
Sex is a big question mark. It is something people will talk about forever.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
At a certain age, you have to choose between your face and your ass.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.

In America you need a bodyguard to go out.

That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
I've worked with Andre Techine lately and with a young unknown director on a short film. I choose my roles carefully.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
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
Image
Directors have to push me. I have to be pushed up. Not all the time, but often.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
I always try to keep that feeling of being on the edge. I'm afraid of knowing too well and seeming mechanical.
