Jean Dujardin
“I don’t want everyone to like me, and I don’t choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.”
Christopher Plummer
“Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license. ”
Elliott Smith
“‘Depressing’ isn’t a word I would use to describe my music. But there is some sadness in it – there has to be, so that the happiness in it will matter.”
Daft Punk
[Thomas Bangalter] “We come from a generation that wanted to make electronic music accepted, at a time [when] it was not. The place of electronic music, culturally and socially, is today completely different— it is now everywhere, and it has been totally accepted. Consequently, there is now a younger generation that is more focused on making great electronic music, good parties, and having fun, where there is not any more so much need for cultural and ideological statements in electronic music itself. We’re genuinely happy if some musicians of this younger generation are influenced by our music, as we were ourselves influenced 10 years ago by older musicians.”
David Thewlis
“Well, The Island of Dr Moreau wasn't very good, was it? I remember the day Brando turned round to me and said this was the craziest thing he'd ever been involved in.”
Emeric Pressburger
“I think that a film should have a good story, a clear story, and it should have if possible, something which is probably the most difficult thing - it should have a little bit of magic.”
Tom Waits
“Apparently the highest compliment our culture grants artists nowadays is to be in an ad - ideally naked and purring on the hood of a new car. I have adamantly and repeatedly refused this dubious honor.”
Jonny Greenwood
“I can remember soundtracks that you just can’t separate from the film – It’s just so intertwined, so important. Like the Hitchcock ones where they kind of inform each other and become this larger thing as a result.”
Gena Rowlands
“[on Cassavetes] We had a great deal of freedom when John acted. We traveled a lot and it was fun. But with directing … really. I think people don’t have all their marbles who prefer directing to acting because you write for three months, you cut for maybe six months. He’s the most terrifying perfectionist about what he wants. As an artist I love him. As a husband I hate him.”
Leonard Nimoy
“You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don`t necessarily know what they`re doing. You don`t necessarily know what kind of universal concept you`re tapping into. ”
John Lurie
“The art world is jealous of celebrity though it’s enthralled by it. Is that not true? I just want to do what’s real. If it makes people hate me then I’ll go hide somewhere. I just want to do what’s real, and what’s beautiful, and what’s life affirming. That’s all I care about.”
Mathieu Amalric
“I directed three films and each time I act I hope it’s the last time so I have time to do my film directing.”
Catherine Deneuve
“Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.”
