But who wants an easy life ? It’s boring ! Picture Quote #1

My mother was right: When you’ve got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust Picture Quote #1

I had a baby at 19 and was a grandmother by 39. Now, my children lend me their children to take them off to Brittany. It’s divine. I’m quite exceptionally lucky. I’ve never had a week without having all three of my daughters on the telephone Picture Quote #1

I have never written a book about my life, despite being offered purses of gold. I made ‘Boxes’ because I wanted to make a sincere depiction of a daughter who has lost her father, or the jealousy one can feel towards a daughter who has become more beautiful than you and whose stepfather starts to take her shopping Picture Quote #1

One of the things I’ve discovered, thanks to the Japanese, is that you should enjoy yourself. In the old days, I used to think: ‘Oh, never be satisfied, never admit to being happy.’ But there’s no curse in being happy Picture Quote #1

A Birkin bag is a very good rain hat; just put everything else in a plastic bag Picture Quote #1

There’s no fun in a bag if it’s not kicked around so that it looks as if the cat’s been sitting on it - and it usually has. The cat may even be in it! I always put on stickers and beads and worry beads. You can get them from Greece, Israel, Palestine - from anywhere in the world Picture Quote #1

I never have more than one bag at a time. I think one is already quite enough. Also, I hate changing bags, so I never have the thing of having ten bags. Any bag that’s with me will take the same course as I will. It will take the same airplanes and will be squashed in the same way and will be used as a cushion in the airports Picture Quote #1

If I were mayor, I’d invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I’d let the elderly in residential homes wander free Picture Quote #1

At school, I used to hear, ‘You’re a half-caste.’ They’d laugh at my figure and say, ‘Are you a boy or a girl?’ Picture Quote #1

I colour my hair mousy brown and I wear makeup only on stage. I use Laura Mercier - something called Biscuit, I think. I run one tiny sponge over my face and cover the red blotches. If I’ve got some rouge, I’ll bung it on my mouth and cheeks Picture Quote #1

Nothing has ever touched on what fun childhood was. Summer holidays were bliss. We made home movies, with real stories in them. My father had such charm and charisma, and made everything so funny Picture Quote #1

It’s usually a jolly good trick to pick up a local tour guide. They can tell you all the anecdotes that make a place interesting. I’m one for rushing off to museums at the crack of dawn, eating fabulous things on terraces for lunch, and enjoying long dinners on balmy evenings Picture Quote #1

I put some red stuff on my mouth and cheeks so I look healthy - any old red lip pencil and a lip colour from Dr. Hauschka in a crushed berry tone. I never put anything on my eyes, or I look like Joan Crawford Picture Quote #1

When you start recognising that you’re having fun, life can be delightful Picture Quote #1

When I arrived in France aged 20, I marched against the death penalty, which was an unpopular thing to protest against at the time Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why people keep banging on about the 60s. I came from a conventional family and I didn’t go off with different people - I rather wish I had now, seeing all the fun everyone else was having Picture Quote #1

Robert Louis Stevenson... I’m focusing on the late short stories that I was ignorant of. I always thought he was a boys’ author, but he’s not at all Picture Quote #1

My mother was right: When you’ve got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust Picture Quote #1

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries Picture Quote #1

But who wants an easy life? It’s boring! Picture Quote #1

People always like things that seem exotic Picture Quote #1

Any film I see at two o’clock in afternoon with my mother seems to cast a strange spell that means we both come out sobbing Picture Quote #1

He painted me when I was young because he was in love with me, but now that he has loved me he doesn’t paint me anymore Picture Quote #1

Everything I wear doesnt put me in the league of women. If I were a boy, I could look a lot prettier than a lot of boys I know Picture Quote #1

When I was at school I used to scream in trains, in those concertina things between the carriages. I used to try to be so good that sometimes I couldn’t bear it any more Picture Quote #1
