To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.

Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.

I get irritated, nervous, very tense or stressed, but never bored.

I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.
