“It has been more possible in recent years for an actress to find varied roles. This is because of the rise in individualism. There is no one look anymore. You know – Rita Hayworth or Marilyn Monroe, they always had to look the same in every movie. But that isn’t important today. Women are individuals, and when we play different roles we must really make them different.” — Claudia Cardinale

“This women’s liberation, it is a very good thing. It should not go too far, though. I am all for independence. I am very independent. But I have made mistakes in my life. And I am not the kind of girl who follows what others say. I like my own life. But it can’t go too far.” — Claudia Cardinale
