"We have the best driver in the world in drifting and best guy in rally racing and stuff like that. So obviously there's a lot of stuff that I didn't do, but there's a lot of really incredible things that I don't think we've ever seen an actor do."

Actor

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"Of course it's difficult to top a box office success like Emmanuelle, so it will always be my most important work. But that's nothing to be ashamed of."

Success

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel

People

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence, vulnerability and elegance."

Elegance

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"I have to be careful not to be too proud in life, because there is always room for improvement."

Life

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel

Life

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"Back then I didn't think a woman like that, or a relationship like that, could exist with complete freedom and no jealousy or possessiveness. I thought it sounded too good to be true and I was certainly convinced it wasn't the life for me!"

Life

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"The film was made in 1973. It was a golden time for people to experiment without risking, for example, AIDS. Today one has to be so much more careful and I don't think a character like that could exist now."

Time

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"I learned so much from other actors and they definitely didn't treat me like some sex bomb or bimbo. I felt fully accepted in the regular movie world. I didn't feel categorised."

Sex

Quote_1.png
Sylvia Kristel
"I still have agents in France, Los Angeles and Amsterdam who call and suggest parts. I'd love to keep on doing both painting and acting until the end of my days."
