Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
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
Image
I admire Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet. I like a lot of comedians. I like Cameron Diaz - she's funny and has a very light spirit. That's quite rare nowadays. There are many actresses I admire.

This book was company for me - I wrote these things when I was in hotels, far from where I normally live. I never intended to publish it.
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.

Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects. But sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.
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.

I'm not an admirer of action movies. I just think, Oh my God, it must be so tiring.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
I have been involved in some films other actresses would not have done.

Image
I love to do very long and complicated scenes.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.
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.

Image
Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
Catherine Deneuve
Image
That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.

Sex is a big question mark. It is something people will talk about forever.

When I first see the dailies, I look only at myself, but then you start to see the scene.
