If you approach Cannes with a sense of humor, nothing is that bad. You have to take it for what it is; otherwise, it's silly.
From Mathieu Amalric
If you love movies, then you love America.
There is the melancholy of Europe. There is the romantic malaise. Feeling sad is almost a form of deepness.
I'm always intrigued when you are travelling through a place and there is somebody who has lived there and done the same job for years.
Acting is about animality. It's great to be allowed to be animal. But I feel more alive as a director. Every morning, I have to write.
The body is something absolutely miraculous. It's amazing, the five senses.
I keep meeting directors that are so irresistible. I only do irresistible films, because I don't need to act to feel myself alive.
My life as an actor has submerged me completely because I don't know why.
Being an actor only came about because Arnaud Desplechin, the guy who did 'Kings and Queen', had this curious idea to think that I could be an actor, but I had never acted before, and I was supposed to direct my own film!
Sometimes with anger you can be much more dangerous than with skill.
