"I am a prisoner behind my own face. I have had many lovers in my life. It has been said that I am wicked. But it is not a matter of wickedness, it is a matter of affection or tenderness…I don’t care about fame for its own sake…
I never wanted anything. It just happened. I never would have believed it. Now it has swallowed me up. It’s all business. In the beginning, it is a pleasant sensation to win first prize. Now...if you only knew how much of a sham I feel. There are days when I feel absolutely rotten and I find myself cheap and showy all the time. In spite of feeling feeble and exploited, I believe that I have a certain strength. Strength of character. I don’t run away. I commit myself.
Then, I have a certain talent for organization. And finally, willpower. What I dislike is superficiality. I hate it—and I am a superficial person. Consequently, my fame, as you call it, rests on air and to a great extent on hate."
--Brigitte in 1962
