Catherine Deneuve People Quotations

People who know me know I'm strong, but I'm vulnerable.

People don't know very much about me. They do not know what really goes on in my private life.

People expect a lot more from someone they think looks interesting. It's a burden.

There are relatively few role models for young people. We are in a society that is ruled by men.

I think anything that has to do with sexuality makes people very interested.

I can be very critical on myself and on other people; I can be very demanding.

Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.

Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.

It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.

Some people fall in love with their co-stars and feel things that they never thought they would feel for them because they are touching.

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 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.

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.

I'm lucky; people write scripts for me.

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

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 in a film. But I work for half a year, no more.

People have always thought of me as someone who's very classical,when in fact I've led a rather unconventional life.
