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.

More quotes by 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
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 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'm dreaming about making movies for eight weeks, because it's a luxury. But time is money. That's the reality.
Julie Delpy
To make what you have in your head, I think that's what directing is.
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'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 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 can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.
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
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
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 actually love Scorsese comedies. He's an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made.
Julie Delpy
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.
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 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
I want to be positive and say: everything I've written will get made eventually.
Julie Delpy
Maybe every family is dysfunctional, and that's the only thing in common throughout the world.
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
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.
