“She cares not a rap for other people’s opinion. BB doesn’t try to scandalize. She has no demands to make; she is no more conscious of her rights than she is of her duties. She follows her inclinations; She eats when she is angry and makes love with the same unceremonious simplicity. Desire and pleasure seem to her more convincing than precepts and conventions. She does not criticize others. She does as she pleases, and that is what is disturbing. She does not ask questions, but she brings answers whose frankness may be contagious.”
Simone de Beauvoir on Brigitte Bardot
