More quotes by Gaspar Noe
I always think of moments of love with someone I love.
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
I think that wars will never stop, it's just that there are sides. You have to choose your side. And there are more progressive sides.
Gaspar Noe
Vengeance is a human right.
Gaspar Noe
You feel touched by a movie in a good or bad way or you have a strong reaction to something that's totally artificial, to an imitation of life. But that imitation of life that you see on the screen can affect you almost as if it was real.
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'm sure if you were a Bosnian during the war, you would wish to kill Serbs. Just because it is the opposite of you and because they're aggressors. And also, it happens to me when I get attacked.
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
Most people feel aggressed by anything that is different from them.
Gaspar Noe
I think that it's much brighter just to assume that you're an animal in the jungle and you have to survive.
Gaspar Noe
War, sometimes you have to go for it, you know?
Gaspar Noe
Survival is a genetic law.
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
If I had to go through a tunnel ten years without making any movies like Bunuel, I don't mind, as long as I did one good movie.
Gaspar Noe
I'm not from a lower social level, but I think I relate more to lower levels then to people who've got money.
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
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 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
Some girls tell me I'm a sex maniac, or people I don't know think that I'm a fascist, but I don't feel like one. I really think I'm not Communist either, because I don't belong to any political group.
