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
I love French style from the Thirties and Forties. French movie stars like Jean Gabin and Yves Montand had so much natural, effortless style.
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 worked with young directors all my life, only young directors.
Vincent Cassel
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.
Vincent Cassel
People pretend to be nice, people pretend to be smooth, and polite and everything, but this is only an appearance, because the way we're built as human beings is only in paradox and contradictions.
Vincent Cassel
Blood, especially fake, and guns, this is bullshit. It works in the movie, but on set it doesn't work for me.
Vincent Cassel
I'm more attracted to the bad guys. Why? Because in real life, I don't know any good guys. I know okay guys. I know polite guys. I know people who can control themselves.
Vincent Cassel
I think American audiences like gangster movies. It's part of the culture.
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
You can't escape from what you are.
Vincent Cassel
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.
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
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
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
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
I wanted to be an actor to act, and now, being an actor, you have to dress up, you have to be nice, you have to be smart, you have to be sexy, you have to be ready.
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
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.
Vincent Cassel
If kids really made all the parents better, there wouldn't be crazy kids in the world.
Vincent Cassel
When you have a bunch of scripts that you have to read, the less you have, the better it is, because otherwise, everything is already planned and I think that's a terrible feeling.
Vincent Cassel
