More quotes by Julie Delpy
People have their faults, but it doesn't prevent you from loving them.
Julie Delpy
My therapist in Paris once told me that being creative is a better form of therapy for me than sitting on his couch.
Julie Delpy
I'm a very independent person, I love being alone, writing and doing music and stuff.
Julie Delpy
I avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.
Julie Delpy
I wasn't born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn't have been an artist because I'm much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can't really escape it.
Julie Delpy
Maybe every family is dysfunctional, and that's the only thing in common throughout the world.
Julie Delpy
You're never totally sure. I shouldn't say that because you have to pretend you're completely self-secure all the time. But, the truth is, I know what I'm doing. I think I know what I'm doing.
Julie Delpy
I'm not going to pursue it the way that actors pursue it which means going to all of the auditions and getting a job and all that stuff, because I don't really need to get a job because I have a job as a writer/director. That's how I make my living mostly now. So I don't need to make a living as an actress.
Julie Delpy
I put my films together in Europe and it kick-starts the financing when I'm attached as an actress. It makes it easier to move forward.
Julie Delpy
You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.
Julie Delpy
The truth is I don't see a lot of movies. I see the Oscar films. I see the films that are sent to me and a few films throughout the year.
Julie Delpy
I think some people, when they get a certain ego, they lose sense of whatever.
Julie Delpy
To make what you have in your head, I think that's what directing is.
Julie Delpy
I didn't really fit with other kids. I had problems in school all my life and problems with authority. But my parents never did drugs or anything. They just believed in freedom in the best sense of the word.
Julie Delpy
Some people have bigger egos than others. You have to take a lot of abuse, and take it in and not respond, because you don't want conflicts on the movie, you don't want to start screaming at people even when they treat you - even when they're not behaving properly, because you want them to do their job, and keep on doing it.
Julie Delpy
I think anyone who has had a fight and who's a very good observer of the situation and people's behavior is capable of writing a fight. But you do start thinking about writing during the fights that you have with your partner.
Julie Delpy
Most of our life is miscommunication, and when you add a language barrier to it, it just becomes total mayhem and confusion... It just adds to it with all of the cultural differences. It could be an American family meeting another American family and you could still have a total clash. With family, it's like visiting another planet.
Julie Delpy
I sometimes wish I were African American because people don't bash them afterward. It's the hardest to be a woman.
Julie Delpy
When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.
Julie Delpy
I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.
