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...

How to Love a woman - Bob Marley

How to love a woman.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” -Bob Marley

.. Every picture you see of De Niro and me on set, we’re talking about something different. Like, ‘How did we get into that thing? Who’s that guy?’ 

“We just talked about personal things, and that was part of the process because it cleared our heads. And then you can go right into it. But his extraordinary dedication to it… It wasn’t even dedication. It was like living it. He was in it. Remarkable.” - Martin Scorsese..
