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.

When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.

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.

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.

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.

I'm a little angry in life.

Blood, especially fake, and guns, this is bullshit. It works in the movie, but on set it doesn't work for me.

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.

I really enjoy being an actor!

I think American audiences like gangster movies. It's part of the culture.
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.

Image
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
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
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
Image
They say the day you lose your parents, you start to look like them.
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
I think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine.
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.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I always had the sense of being in the spotlight, being on stage, being looked at.
