Ursula Andress's quotes
- I have no problem with nudity. I can look at myself. I like walking around nude. It doesn't bother me. I see other people walking around nude; it doesn't bother me.
- Today, there hardly is any good woman's role written for films. If one does come along, it is psychological - about a sick woman.
- It's a mystery. All I did was wear this bikini in Dr. No (1962) - not even a small one - and whoosh! Overnight, I made it.
- To me, it's much more moral to live with the man you love, without signing a piece of paper, than to live legally in an atmosphere of boredom which can eventually turn to hate.
- When I love a man, I live only for him. I become his slave.
- What I look for in a man isn't printable! I wouldn't want to shatter my cool Swiss image.
- [on Jean-Paul Belmondo] I was unfaithful to my husband because of my love for Jean-Paul. He was one of the most passionate, desirable men in the world. He was sensational, incredible, fantastic. With him, I discovered worlds I never knew existed.
- Honestly, I feel so lucky I have had such a lucky life. Everything I've ever wanted, I've had. And now I have my own baby.
- [on Harry Hamlin] I wanted him, and I knew I could have him, but I had no idea it would last more than a night or two. You can never prejudge a man.
- [self-description of her upbringing] Like medieval times. I wasn't allowed to talk at the table unless I was addressed. I was not allowed to see boys or go to dances until I was 17.
- I have always been a gypsy, dreaming about curiosity and dreaming about traveling.
- [her criteria for choosing a project] It has to be art or else I am not interested. There is no shortage of good actors, there is a shortage of good films because they are very costly, but I did my work, and now I only do things for art.
- I did enjoy London in the '60s. Everything was fun, it was a happy town, an English town, but now there are no English there!
- Coldness and silence from people are terrifying to me. I can't understand it. Cruelty I can understand because that comes from passion. But indifference?
- Without love I cannot exist.
- I love old people but I don't like getting old.
- [about her interest in photography] I've always been scared of opening myself up, trusting a director. But with a camera it's up to me. I don't have to rely on anyone else, and I like that.
- [on the English language] I know what to say, but I don't know how to spell it.
- [on why she didn't marry Fabio Testi] What kind of a marriage could I have with women constantly chasing him all over the place... Women throw themselves at him.
- I love all my old boyfriends. I need their friendship. We both gave something to each other, and it stays forever. Once I thought it would be nice to have them all living together in one big house. But now I think that might be difficult.
- I'm not a feminist. I hate everything about these women who organize and make speeches and carry signs in parades.
