More quotes by Catherine Deneuve
I have been involved in some films other actresses would not have done.
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
That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
Catherine Deneuve
The story is more important to me than the part.
Catherine Deneuve
When you're young, you try to meet that expectation that people have of you. It can be very stressful. But with time it's become less of problem.
Catherine Deneuve
Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
Catherine Deneuve
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
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
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
I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.
Catherine Deneuve
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.
Catherine Deneuve
I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants.
Catherine Deneuve
I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.
Catherine Deneuve
I love to do very long and complicated scenes.
Catherine Deneuve
At a certain age, you have to choose between your face and your ass.
Catherine Deneuve
Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
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
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
Directors have to push me. I have to be pushed up. Not all the time, but often.
Catherine Deneuve
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
