Jean-Louis Trintignant's quotes

  • The best actors in the world are those who feel the most and show the least.
  • [on Marcello Mastroianni] Mastroianni fascinates me; there are few people who are more intelligent than they wish to appear. That's Marcello exactly!
  • [on Anouk Aimée] No actress either, like Brigitte Bardot, but extraordinary -- the way Gary Cooper was extraordinary.
  • [on Catherine Deneuve] At the beginning, not an extraordinary actress. But she has become a formidable one, subtle, full of nuance, sensitive, intelligent. I love working with her.
  • [on his role in The Great Silence (1968)] I play the part of a mute. The audience won't realize it because during the first two-thirds of the film, there's no reason for him to speak. I like it because in most Westerns, they talk too much and say nothing.
