I think women have a particular iconic woman they identify with. There's a huge Brigitte Bardot contingency, but she's not my kind of woman. Also she's a racist. Some women like Sophia Loren, but again, I don't get it. She's like too overtly sexual. She's the male fantasy of a woman. She's practically not even a person, just a one-dimensional male interpretation of femaleness, the male gaze personified. I love Anouk Aimee, but there's something too ethereal about her. Jeanne Moreau is my kind of woman. My mother and I are obsessed with her face. She has a pretty amazing face, but she also has this accessibility and playfulness and charm and wit and effortless elegance that I love. I love Jeanne Moreau. I want to marry her.
