Turning 91 Today: Brigitte Bardot

  • [why she retired from show business at age 39] I tried to make myself as pretty as possible and even then I thought I was ugly. I found it madly difficult to go out, to show myself. I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.
  • I can no longer walk. I can no longer swim. But I’m lucky when I see how animals suffer. Suddenly, I discover that I have nothing to complain.
  • I have a slight despising for humanity in general.
  • I am greatly misunderstood by politically correct idiots. Politics disgusts me.
