Françoise Hardy
“There are so many dreams beyond our nights, and so much sunshine beyond our gray walls. But we can't see it when we stay at home. There is so much sky above our roof. Is the door so old that it won't open, or are we at home because we're afraid of catching a chill?”
Jean-Pierre Léaud
“The strongest moments in my life are when I’m filming. It’s an adventure. As an actor I try to seduce someone, try to share something. The rest of my time is spent exploring experiences with women.”
Jean-Louis Trintignant
“The best actors in the world are those who feel the most and show the least.”
Catherine Deneuve
“Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.”
Delphine Seyrig
“We live in a so-called heterosexual society which is really male heterosexual. Power, press, media, industry all stress male achievements. Hetrosexuality was a mask. In the commercial cinema, this heterosexuality appears basically anti-feminine: you see more male faces on the posters than before. The world is showing it’s true face at last.”
Anna Karina
Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean.
Faye Dunaway
“I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.”
Monica Vitti
“I owe my courage to Michelangelo’s [Antonioni] attention. I owe my strength to his confidence.”
Marcello Mastroianni
“Each year we look for a big name that is attractive to the public and pleasant for the girls.”
Harry Dean Stanton
“Usually, I just play myself. Whatever psychological traumas or conflicts I'm going through at the time I try to put into the role. Sometimes it's quite a feat to pull off, but sometimes it works. If it doesn't correspond to the dilemmas of the character, then I don't do the film.”
Bridget Fonda
“I'm afraid of making a mistake. I'm not totally neurotic, but I'm pretty neurotic about it. I'm as close to totally neurotic as you can get without being totally neurotic.”
Parker Posey
“There’s so much frat boy humor out there now. This whole Judd Apatow craze — I don’t like it. It excludes girls, and it doesn’t do anything particularly great for our culture.”
Catherine Keener
“Well, for one thing, I like being a supporting actress. I like to come and go in the film. The interesting characters are very few if you want to be the lead, and they depend on you being beautiful. Since I'm not interested in those parts, the pressure's off, in a way. I'm not cast for my physicality. I find that playing so many characters in so many films is a way to be in the moment.”
Milla Jovovich
“From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre.”
Winona Ryder
“I've always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate - at least as far as possible - from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.”
Jeremy Davies
“The creators of Lost are endowed with some seriously certified, god-size talent. For a misfit like me, an offer to make coffee for those gentlemen is one I’d find terribly difficult to pass up.”
Crispin Glover
“Eccentric doesn’t bother me. ‘Eccentric’ being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn’t follow the lines – that’s okay.”
James Spader
“I’ve had a lazy career, sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I’m walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I’m much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side.”
