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.

More quotes by Vincent Cassel
People look up to Jacques Mesrine as if he were a Robin Hood, stealing from the rich, but he never gave anything back to anybody.
Vincent Cassel
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
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.
Vincent Cassel
To me, Sheitan movie is the answer to all the problems we have in France concerning immigration. That is a fake problem people can actually work together and do something very interesting out of it.
Vincent Cassel
Neither of us are workaholics. I think the key thing is to accept that if you only exist through what you do, then you become what you do, and this is very wrong.
Vincent Cassel
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
When somebody is talking to you about something terrible on set with lines, and you believe what he says, sometimes it gives a strange vibe, because you wonder when that person is talking if he's talking about something that really happened to him and he's using the character.
Vincent Cassel
I used to be more self-conscious about style because when you're younger, you want to exist, you want to show everything you do.
Vincent Cassel
I have a tendency to think that that stereotype of American movies and Hollywood movies doesn't exist. Of course you have the studios that have a very hard policy upon their artists, but then I haven't really been doing any real Hollywood movie yet.
Vincent Cassel
And now I have a big house, nice clothes and I travel in first class and I love it, so maybe it's time to enjoy being a star.
Vincent Cassel
The idea of telling a story in reverse destabilises your ordinary moral reactions. That's one of the points of art - to challenge your preconceptions.
Vincent Cassel
I liked the idea of working with Jean Reno and Mathieu Kassovitz there was something logical for me. I thought it was a good thing to do. Actually, The Crimson Rivers movie was a big success, and it was one of the biggest successes I ever had in France.
Vincent Cassel
I think American audiences like gangster movies. It's part of the culture.
Vincent Cassel
I really like romantic comedies and light movies and everything but I think - I don't know where it comes from - but when you're doing violent movies, you're closer to reality.
Vincent Cassel
Cronenberg's a lot of fun, and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.
Vincent Cassel
Women? I'm still working on the subject. I haven't finished my studies. I would say I'm so happy that they're around. This is the salt and pepper of life. This is what makes me wake up in the morning - even more than work, really.
Vincent Cassel
Good guys need to be a little dirty otherwise they're just boring.
Vincent Cassel
I always had the sense of being in the spotlight, being on stage, being looked at.
Vincent Cassel
Perfection is not just about control, it is also about letting go.
Vincent Cassel
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.
Vincent Cassel
