More quotes by 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
I make these little films. I'm just a working person. I just study people a little bit more. It's more sociological, and it's funny anyway - not that serious. It's not like false humility. I just take it for what it is.
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
My dad has always been such a great dad, and he's brought so much culture to my life. He dragged me to see every single movie at the cinématheque as a kid. I saw everything from Star Wars to Bergman.
Julie Delpy
Few years ago, I said something about the Academy being very white male, which is the reality, and I was slashed to pieces by the media.
Julie Delpy
Maybe every family is dysfunctional, and that's the only thing in common throughout the world.
Julie Delpy
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.
Julie Delpy
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
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've directed five films and I've proven that people have made money with my films - many people have made money with my films.
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 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
I think some people, when they get a certain ego, they lose sense of whatever.
Julie Delpy
I avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.
Julie Delpy
I would assume that there is a greater amount of joy for you in being able to write and help produce your own stuff and make a decent living, but not get rich versus always doing the other stuff that you don’t write, and make more money.
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
Feminists is something people hate above all. Nothing worse than being a woman in this [movie] business. I really believe that.
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 can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.
Julie Delpy
Maybe I would get the chance to be financed for a small romantic comedy, but a war movie by a 28-year-old woman about Japanese soldiers? No one was going to go for that. It's easy to just steal an idea because it's very safe.
