Personal Quotes

"The years went by so fast and, even though I've had children, which makes me feel I've lived a long time, I feel I didn't really grow up. I want to fulfill the desire I have to do things that are beautiful and meaningful."

On Roman Polanski, who directed her in Tess (1979): "As a director, he was 10 times more wonderful than as a lover."

[On Marcello Mastroianni] I could fall in love with Marcello even though he is older than my father.

[On Klaus Kinski] I have never met a man like my father. He is so mad, terrible and vehement at the same time. Because of him, I never knew anything other than passion. When I began to meet other people, I saw that it wasn't normal.
