More quotes by 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
In real life, when you speak with each other you overlap each other, so you can't fake that. Like especially when you have no cut. In a regular film when you want people to overlap you cut it that way. It's mixing and editing.
Julie Delpy
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.
Julie Delpy
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
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 can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.
Julie Delpy
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
I actually love Scorsese comedies. He's an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made.
Julie Delpy
Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.
Julie Delpy
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
I've directed five films and I've proven that people have made money with my films - many people have made money with my films.
