Chanel Solitaire (1981)

Marie-France Pisier: Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel

Quotes 

• Etienne de Balsan : I never made love to a woman in jodhpurs. I wonder what it's like.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : Difficult.

• Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : Children. Now, children. Monsieur Poiret, in his day, designed some awfully pretty harem pants. The simple black dress, however, takes invention.

• Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : [about her father]  He's in America. He's a millionaire I believe. I haven't seen him for years. And that's about all.

  Boy Capel : I never knew my father. I was born on the wrong side of the blanket.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : The wrong side of the blanket?

  Boy Capel : I'm a bastard.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : I don't believe you. You are just saying that to make me feel better.

• Boy Capel : I came to tell you that I was wrong. I want you back.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : You want me back? I never went anywhere.

  Boy Capel : How long has that been going on?

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : You have no right to ask. But I am going to tell you something. She is not the only one. I have lots of other lovers. I have everything now. Love. And success. My life is fulfilled and I don't need you anymore.

  Boy Capel : You call a succession of men and women love? Does it make you happy?

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : At least it doesn't make me unhappy.
