Emmanuelle Riva quotes:

Love is the essence of life; love touches all of our work. Love never leaves us. It clings to us, and we cling to it.

If by chance people would still offer me roles, I'd still like to do them. But if not, that's OK.

I love life. I love life to death.

Acting makes you live plenty of lives.

It is dreadful to see actors reproducing the same image constantly.

I've never wanted to be a star, never.

Imagination and reality have little in common

In acting, you draw so much on your private life.
