If I write my story, I would tell it as I lived it. I always tell the truth. I am not going to embellish or smear the image.

— Anna Karina RFI Musique interview (2018)

Si j'écris mon histoire, c'est telle que je l'ai vécue. Je dis toujours la vérité. Je ne vais ni enjoliver ni noircir le tableau.

Lots of resistance. People really didn’t like it. ‘What is she doing here? This is not her job, she should stay being an actress.’ But I just wanted to see if I could do it, that’s all. And I wrote novels. And did singing – two albums, or did I say that already?

The Guardian interview (2016)

We did not see ourselves as remaking cinema at the time ... we weren’t inside the star system. We were running around, shooting in the streets, hiding behind trees to do our makeup.
