More quotes by 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
Good guys need to be a little dirty otherwise they're just boring.
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
My father is best known for his light comedies, and Im best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.
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
La Haine - first of all, it was the story of friendship. I was very close with Mathieu Kassovitz he was somebody I met in the nights of Paris. And the hip-hop scene and all that... You know, it was very much about doing our own thing, and some of the subject matter was so close to what we knew and the people we were hanging out with.
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
You usually never know what you're going to do when you're making a movie.
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
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 wear a lot of wigs as Jacques Mesrine. He'd wear multiple wigs and take them off one at a time to rob three banks in one hour.
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
I always compare human beings to animals. It's a nice way to figure out who they are.
