![“I love to not work. I love to go to the movies, I like to travel... I think I work maybe half the year. Sometimes, people think I've done three films in a year, but it's because I did a participation [cameo?] in a film. But I work for half a year, no more.” quote by Catherine Deneuve](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dff/catherine-deneuve-4394_done_i-love-to-not-work-i-love-to-go-to-the-m_1041741.jpg)
