No one manipulates me.
Jean-Paul Belmondo
Preparing for a stunt is like training for a sporting event.
I hope to be an example for all. I hope.
I've always liked to keep trim, and fortunately, I don't put on weight easily.
I would say I've done everything I wanted to.
I had fun doing both types of roles. Both are good. One day you laugh, and the next day you cry. That's how it is.
It's terrible, a crutch, isn't it?
I love the sun.
After the liberation of France, I went to the movies all ihe time.
The actors I admired were Bogart, Cagney, Cooper, Tracy. Great personalities. Real stars.
The big French movie distributors are the Trojan horse of the American cinema.
Not only do the Americans not defend our films, they buy them up just for remakes. It is shameful to kneel at their feet.
When you're in a play like 'Kean,' you can't think of anything else. Love is too time-consuming.
I insist on doing all my own film stunts, although they are often worked out in advance by a stunt man who then advises me on the best and safest method of performing it.
