I always compare human beings to animals. It's a nice way to figure out who they are.
Vincent Cassel
Image
The only person standing in your way is you.
Vincent Cassel
Image
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
Image
Perfection is not just about control, it is also about letting go.
Vincent Cassel
Image
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
Image
I come from an acting family, my father was an actor, and I had to fight my way and just create my own identity.

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.
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'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
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
Image
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
Image
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.
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
Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.
Vincent Cassel
Image
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
Image
I don't really shop any more. I only do it when I have to. I think it is very overrated.
