Gérard Depardieu's quotes

  • I never really like the characters I play. I only come to love them afterwards.
  • The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.
  • I'm happy with very little on this earth, but I do like to have a lot in my glass. [on his love for wine]
  • Authenticity is the ability to listen to what nature tells us. Listening isn't the same thing as never making a mistake, but the important thing is to learn.
  • When I'm stressed, I still drink five or six bottles of wine a day. When I'm relaxed, three or four, but I'm trying to cut down. You think alcohol calms you down, but you become addicted to it. [2005]
  • [on Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (1991)] Leos Carax needed six years to shoot his film with Juliette Binoche, which turned out to be not even a film but just a piece of shit.
  • I'm not a monster, I'm just a man who wants to pee.
  • France is likely to become a Disneyland for foreigners, populated by imbeciles making wine and stinky cheese for tourists. There is no more freedom, people are being manipulated.
  • Half of Europe - with its fear of migrants - that has become a bit fascist.
  • [on being granted his Russian passport in 2013] I am very happy, it's very beautiful here. Beautiful and soulful people live here.
