CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

Adieu, Mademoiselle
"In the years that I have been an actress, I have told the story of my life many times, and I get tired of it, so sometimes I change it a little."
"The stage takes more from your life in three hours of work than one whole day in the film studio. On stage, you are a prisoner, even though it is a lovely prison."
"I think it's despicable to be on display and a fashion showoff."
RIP Danielle Yvonne Marie Antoinette Darrieux (1st May 1917 - 17th October 2017)
