I did direct two short movies. I learned many things, and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral, and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.

I always compare human beings to animals. It's a nice way to figure out who they are.

Image
It was like a dream to me to suddenly get into the market with that kind of movie, like La Haine. It actually created my identity as an actor, that thing.

There is this idea that its very different from the French point of view to work in America blah, blah, blah. But I think its different from one person to the other, not from one country to the other.

I've always loved the idea of changing myself, wearing costumes and disguises. It takes you back to being a kid, to dressing up.
Vincent Cassel
Image
Coming from Paris, I'd really like to live in Rio. I think it's gotten better. It's not as violent. The economy is better. The middle class is rising.
Vincent Cassel
Image
It's always interesting to see a director trying different things, and on top of it, doing it right each and almost every time.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I really enjoy being an actor!

If kids really made all the parents better, there wouldn't be crazy kids in the world.
Vincent Cassel
Image
If the guy behind the camera is not good, the pictures are bad. It's still you, and it's the same lines and everything, but it doesn't work.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I'm producing more, but I think to direct, one has to have a burning desire, and that's not me. I'd rather do something else.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I'm an actor, that's what I do every day. Dressing up is part of my job. But whatever you wear you should always be yourself: never go totally with the fashion but use what there is available to be an individual.

Image
They say the day you lose your parents, you start to look like them.
Vincent Cassel
Image
It's now or never. This is simple to say, but then to live like that is not easy at all, I'm sorry. You have to be aware enough so that you can see situations as they pass in front of you and be able to catch the instant, whatever it is. Many times, you just don't see the moment when you were yawning and then it's too late.
