In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs.

Taste is a result of a thousand distastes.

An actor is never so great as when he reminds you of an animal - falling like a cat, lying like a dog, moving like a fox.

The film of tomorrow will be an act of love.

The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.

I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.

When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful.

In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs.

I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.

Is the cinema more important than life?

Hitchcock loves to be misunderstood, because he has based his whole life around misunderstandings.

Film lovers are sick people.

The film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has.

The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary.

At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd be a critic or a filmmaker, but I knew it would be something like that.

During the war, I saw many films that made me fall in love with the cinema.

I had thought of writing, actually, and that later on I'd be a novelist.

I have always preferred the reflect of the life to life itself.

I prefer to be busy all day long, and when you work for someone else, you're not busy enough.

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.

Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.

What switched me to films was the flood of American pictures into Paris after the Liberation.

A film is a boat which is always on the point of sinking it always tends to break up as you go along and drag you under with it.

Airing ones dirty linen never makes for a masterpiece.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

I love pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.

They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

I think I had a more European outlook about the body and sex. The body is in no way dirty, and sex is something beautiful to give to and share with a lover. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, because I only believe in being in love with one man at a time.

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.
