what is boredom?

Catherine Deneuve interview Nat'l Film Theater Sept 21, '05

GA: In this book, at one point, you say, "I must make an effort to be more serious. I get pleasure from frivolous things."

CD: I should have taken that out. Those are diaries that I wrote for me, and these things don't mean much.

GA: But you wrote this after you'd gone out to buy classical music to cheer yourself up. So you're not that frivolous.

CD: I am, I am frivolous. But sometimes, that's the problem of my Christian education, when I know I've been frivolous, and I know I have to do it, then I feel guilty.

GA: So you enjoy yourself, whichever.

CD: No, I don't enjoy. I suffer from enjoying. It's very Christian.

GA: Sadly, I think we have to stop here. Would you please join me in thanking Catherine Deneuve.
