Quotes

• “It's afterwards you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn't necessarily prove that you loved him.”
• “It was the men I deceived the most that I loved the most.”
• “I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.”
• “Ce qui remplit le temps c'est vraiment de le perdre.”
• “Paradoxically, the freedom of Paris is associated with a persistent belief that nothing ever changes. Paris, they say, is the city that changes least. After an absence of twenty or thirty years, one still recognizes it.”
• “Acting doesn't bring anything to a text. On the contrary, it detracts from it.”
