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.

More quotes by Julie Delpy
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.
Julie Delpy
I avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.
Julie Delpy
I love acting and I still want to do it, but I've such an instinct for directing, it's something that comes naturally to me. It's why I'm here on this planet.
Julie Delpy
I hate that whole Tarantino thing about beating up women and killing them and chopping up. Just because you have the mind of a 12 year old.
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
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 think it's nice when everyone's happy. I'm that kind of person. But then sometimes you have people that are never happy, which also happened to me a little bit, people that always find ways to complain about everything. But if they're never happy, that's the way they are.
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
The condition of being an actress can be unbearable.
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 think I do find humor in disorder, and reality is disorder.
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
Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?
Julie Delpy
I was having this awful nightmare that I was 32. And then I woke up and I was 23. So relieved. And then I woke up for real, and I was 32.
Julie Delpy
I want to be positive and say: everything I've written will get made eventually.
Julie Delpy
Our society is so much about fidelity being this thing that's sacred, and people are miserable. They're suicidal. It brings more depression than anything else on earth, probably. Sorry to say that, guys.
Julie Delpy
I'm a very independent person, I love being alone, writing and doing music and stuff.
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
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.
