“When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.”

For me, I never, never, from the moment I started acting, had a desire to be famous.
I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20, 000 people live there and 12, 000 of them come to every game. Running onto the pitch each week was just the most fantastic feeling. Nothing can beat that.
I've never been more famous than I was, suddenly, in 1986.
It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.
