More quotes by Gaspar Noe
Sometimes people who feel powerless, they come to bother their own kids, or they come to bother children.
Gaspar Noe
Survival is a genetic law.
Gaspar Noe
The power that a president has in France is like the power of a king. In America, you know that his power is limited. Maybe because there used to be a king for centuries and now they're still behaving like they need a king.
Gaspar Noe
Erotic movies - they don't even make it anymore. Even the erotic magazines don't really look like the ones you could find in the '70s. You have much more extreme iconography of what is sexy. It's very cold. There's nothing that links to real life.
Gaspar Noe
If you're a Bosnian and suddenly you get attacked by the Serbs, there's just one way of getting rid of your opponents. It's taking revenge and trying to fight as hard as you can.
Gaspar Noe
I am not a police fan at all.
Gaspar Noe
From a simple, mammal perspective, you think you're going to make friends through the movie. You think, Oh, this kind of humor that I play with will bring people that have a similar kind of humor. I'll make new friends, or something. You don't even think in terms of audience or of money.
Gaspar Noe
Sometimes I have better relationships with my barber then with people who are into cinema from an upper class.
Gaspar Noe
People who are poor, they suffer a lot. And people drink a lot and people take a lot of downers and there's a lot of unemployment.
Gaspar Noe
My characters are never heroic. They are mostly lost and trying to find the right door to open and they end up opening the wrong doors.
Gaspar Noe
I wanted to do comic books... as a comic book artist, as an illustrator. But I'm not very good so I thought I should do something else! So I went to a film school when I was seventeen and came out when I was nineteen.
Gaspar Noe
I felt attacked because people rejected me. They didn't say we can give you money to do something else if you want, they just said no, this movie cannot be done and I said okay, so I'll do it!
Gaspar Noe
Being poor is a normal thing.
Gaspar Noe
I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.
Gaspar Noe
Make a movie that you can be proud of.
Gaspar Noe
Some people take drugs in a quest for spirituality.
Gaspar Noe
I think British people for example can handle better their own poorness. The image of their poorness. But in France, people don't handle it very well. Either you are normal or ... if you are poor you better not show it.
Gaspar Noe
Vengeance is a human right.
Gaspar Noe
You can put whatever you want inside evil and good in morality.
Gaspar Noe
I would have to take some kind of revenge if my girlfriend had been aggressed, my mother had been aggressed, or my kids had been aggressed. I think I would go for personal revenge.
Gaspar Noe
