I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists. - Brigitte Bardot

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous, and very unhappy.

Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

All these animals are put in cages, never see the sun or grass, and they leave this hell only to go to the slaughter-house. For me intensive breeding is a sign of human degeneration. If one can find that acceptable, then we humans have lost all moral value. … [How long have you been a vegetarian?] Since 1962, when I went on French television to denounce conditions of animal slaughter. That is when I became aware of the horror of factory farming, live transports and the killings of farm animals. I have always been sensitive to animal distress but from then on I refused to be involved in such inhuman industrial deaths.
