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.

More quotes by 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
My father is best known for his light comedies, and Im best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.
Vincent Cassel
Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.
Vincent Cassel
I really enjoy being an actor!
Vincent Cassel
When you have a bunch of scripts that you have to read, the less you have, the better it is, because otherwise, everything is already planned and I think that's a terrible feeling.
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
I always compare human beings to animals. It's a nice way to figure out who they are.
Vincent Cassel
You usually never know what you're going to do when you're making a movie.
Vincent Cassel
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Vincent Cassel
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
I wanted to be an actor to act, and now, being an actor, you have to dress up, you have to be nice, you have to be smart, you have to be sexy, you have to be ready.
Vincent Cassel
The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.
