My father was Greek, but he turned French during the war, and my mother was French. So I'm French, but I have Greek blood.

When artists die early, they become idols even more.

Sometimes I do things that are not really the right way because I'm daring, in a way.

When I love somebody, I cannot drop it out of my life. Love is not something like you open and you close, you know?

I wore black until I was twenty-five, like many young people. Everybody did. It was crazy! But now, getting older, I think color does me good.

My parents named me Arlette, and I changed it to Agnes when I was young. I didn't like it because I don't like names with 'ette' - you know, it looks like a little girl's name.

I saw 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs' when it came out, didn't like it too much. I found she was stupid.

When I was younger, people were inventing a new way of writing - James Joyce, Hemingway, Faulkner. And I thought we had to find a structure for cinema. I fought for a radical cinema, and I continued all my life.

Maybe something that amuses the Americans is that they are so worried about age, and I'm not at all.

I wasn't attracted to American cinema, but I fell in love with Los Angeles the minute I arrived.
