More quotes by Julie Delpy
It's easier for Europeans to give money to a movie that says a blow job is what brought down American democracy.
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
People have their faults, but it doesn't prevent you from loving them.
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.
Julie Delpy
I'm a very direct person and, sometimes, when I want something, I will push it until I get it. But, it's OK. It's not as bad as some people. When I have an idea in my head, I'm pretty stubborn.
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
Men go out with me, we break up and then they get married. And later they call me to thank me for teaching them what love is. That I tought them to care and respect women. (...) I wanna kill them! Why didn't they ask me to marry them? I would've said no, but at least they could have asked.
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
The condition of being an actress can be unbearable.
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 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 think it's obsessions that a lot of people share, but they don't dare to talk about openly.
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 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
Maybe every family is dysfunctional, and that's the only thing in common throughout the world.
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 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
I avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.
Julie Delpy
For Europeans a president having an affair, especially in France, is a joke. No one cares, it would never bring this kind of trouble to a country.
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.
