More quotes by Julie Delpy
I sometimes wish I were African American because people don't bash them afterward. It's the hardest to be a woman.
Julie Delpy
I'm dreaming about making movies for eight weeks, because it's a luxury. But time is money. That's the reality.
Julie Delpy
I can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.
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
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 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 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.

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 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
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
Maybe every family is dysfunctional, and that's the only thing in common throughout the world.
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
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 avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.
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
Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.
Julie Delpy
I think it's obsessions that a lot of people share, but they don't dare to talk about openly.
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've directed five films and I've proven that people have made money with my films - many people have made money with my films.
