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 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
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
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
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
Image
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
Image
I worked with young directors all my life, only young directors.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I think American audiences like gangster movies. It's part of the culture.
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
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
The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.
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.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I have learned that acting is not about beauty.
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
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
Image
I don't really shop any more. I only do it when I have to. I think it is very overrated.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I always had the sense of being in the spotlight, being on stage, being looked at.
Vincent Cassel
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.
