More quotes by 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 worked with young directors all my life, only young directors.
Vincent Cassel
Perfection is not just about control, it is also about letting go.
Vincent Cassel
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
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
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.

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
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.

Vincent Cassel
I think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine.
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
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
They say the day you lose your parents, you start to look like them.
Vincent Cassel
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
I always had the sense of being in the spotlight, being on stage, being looked at.
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
I think life is short, and you can't spend time doing things just to be on set to reassure yourself that people are not going to forget about you.
Vincent Cassel
I liked the idea of working with Jean Reno and Mathieu Kassovitz there was something logical for me. I thought it was a good thing to do. Actually, The Crimson Rivers movie was a big success, and it was one of the biggest successes I ever had in France.
Vincent Cassel
The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.
