I’ve had a fixation on Brigitte Bardot since I was a young teenager. For me, her lips, that kind of pout, her upwardly pointing anatomy, her swayback, the way she moves, the way her hair is kind of waifish… I think of her wearing a towel or a bikini, or nude. Her characters are never embellished with elegant clothes or jewelry — it’s only her own wild elegance or sensuality.
