Image
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.

The people that are succeeding have often had a mentor of some kind. I think it makes a huge difference.

Very quickly I realized that directing is a combination of things: It's visual, it's directing the actors, it's telling a story. And people don't always mention this part of directing, but it's also knowing how to really edit something into something that makes sense.
Julie Delpy
Image
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
Image
The way I work is that I never let people do an assembly. I don't like it because it shapes the film in a way that I can't really control. To me, editing is making the film and it's a huge process and editors are under-rated.

Image
I had to trick people into giving me money for my first film. Making a romantic comedy is easier and more expected from a woman than it is to make a drama about a Japanese warrior.

It's terrifying. Women make their first film, their second film, and then it's like a nightmare, right, to make the third or fourth? I mean, it's almost like men can have three films in a row that don't do that well and keep on going.

Image
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
Image
I love the acting process. What I don't like is what's around it. The auditions and being rejected every other day. The look thing. That you have to lose weight, that you have to do Botox.
Julie Delpy
Image
I love making movies. I love writing. I love acting. I love it, and I feel really blessed to be able to actually make a living with something I love doing.
Julie Delpy
Image
Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.
Julie Delpy
Image
I want to be positive and say: everything I've written will get made eventually.
Julie Delpy
Image
I sometimes wish I were African American because people don't bash them afterward. It's the hardest to be a woman.
Julie Delpy
Image
People have their faults, but it doesn't prevent you from loving them.
Julie Delpy
Image
I'm a very independent person, I love being alone, writing and doing music and stuff.
Julie Delpy
Image
It's a typical story: you think of something, it stays in the back of your head for a while, and then you finally do it.
Julie Delpy
Image
I've had this opportunity to get some of my financing out of Europe, which has helped tremendously, so I'm not completely dependent on the studio system or on U.S. financing.
Julie Delpy
Image
Never take no for an answer. It took me 20 years between the time I wrote my first screenplay and the time I actually got money to direct a movie.

Image
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.

It's easier for Europeans to give money to a movie that says a blow job is what brought down American democracy.
