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
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.
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 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've proven that I'm not a complete failure. Every film has done well. It's like, So, okay, when do I get my deal at Warner Bros?
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 truth is I don't see a lot of movies. I see the Oscar films. I see the films that are sent to me and a few films throughout the year.
Julie Delpy
Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

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
I'm comfortable wherever I am, and I can be anywhere and feel comfortable after three weeks. I adapt, and I'm like a chameleon. If a country doesn't have Internet, then I get used to not having the Internet. I could basically live anywhere. I'm a nomad at heart. Nothing is more boring than monotony.
Julie Delpy
I think some people, when they get a certain ego, they lose sense of whatever.
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
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.
