More quotes by Patrice Leconte

Patrice Leconte
Love stories that are too simple don't deserve to have films made about them.
Patrice Leconte
You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.
Patrice Leconte
I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.
Patrice Leconte
No, but it’s not because I’m getting older that I’m trying to accelerate. But something very curious is happening: The older I get, the more ideas I’m getting.
Patrice Leconte
