Mathieu Amalric's quotes

  • I don't want to be a star!
  • There is the melancholy of Europe. There is the romantic malaise. Feeling sad is almost a form of deepness.
  • 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.
  • Arnaud Desplechin invented me as an actor. I never imagined I'd be acting in movies.
  • Sometimes with anger you can be much more dangerous than with skill.
  • I first started working in film when I was 17. I was a director's assistant, an editor.
  • If you love movies, then you love America.
  • 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.
  • I keep meeting directors that are so irresistible. I only do irresistible films, because I don't need to act to feel myself alive.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • The body is something absolutely miraculous. It's amazing, the five senses.
  • My life as an actor has submerged me completely because I don't know why.
