Quote

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.

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.

My father is best known for his light comedies, and Im best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.

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.

Image
I grew up watching 'Raging Bull.
Vincent Cassel
Image
I think American audiences like gangster movies. It's part of the culture.
Vincent Cassel
Image
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 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
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.

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 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'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
I have a huge relationship with Brazil it's almost a love affair, I would say. And to me, to introduce that specific martial art like capoeira in Hollywood movies was something important to me.

If kids really made all the parents better, there wouldn't be crazy kids in the world.
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
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
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 think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine.
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
Neither of us are workaholics. I think the key thing is to accept that if you only exist through what you do, then you become what you do, and this is very wrong.
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.
