Emmanuelle Riva


...A first time Oscar nominee at the age of 85, grande dame of French cinema Emmanuelle Riva ...

I very often say that getting old is something natural, because as we all know, nobody’s immortal. What’s much worse than getting old is health failure. Health is the most important gift: an honor that deserves nourishing and care. Healthy people are happy people. I do whatever is in my power to stay this way. Nothing extravagant, just take care of myself; it’s really easy. Keep a healthy body and a clear mind. One needs to be open to other people, stay free. I’ve always cherished freedom and independence. I think this is why I never got married...
