Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I'm finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden.
I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.
To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be.
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.
The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important.
I have always had the urge to open forbidden doors: with a curiosity and an obstinacy that verge on masochism.
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
For me it's not possible to forget, and I don't understand people who, when the love is ended, can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me, a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.
If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you're giving to the world, you're on a dangerous path.
Knowing how to die is knowing how to live. What is death anyway? It's the outcome of life.
I don't feel guilt. Whatever I wish to do, I do.
It's a fantastic thing to take the risk of getting so close to your desire, expressing your obsession so absolutely.
Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world.
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.
Every night I go over what I did in the day, in ethical or moral terms. Have I treated people properly? Did I tell the truth?
In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
I can't belong to groups. I've tried. I behave normally, but people don't look at me normally.
My aim in life is not to judge.
You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
