Claire Denis

I'm not a very brave person. ”

In a way, I feel obliged to respect Jean Rouch because I am told he is very important. ”

I don't remember being afraid of anything in making films. ”

I'm not rich. ”

I hate the victimization of women, always. ”

What I like is the idea of a group, even if it's just two people - the idea of solitude within a group. ”

Inside the family, you can go from hate to passivity to extreme love within the same hour. ”

I have very strong relationships with my actors when I'm shooting. When you love an actor's work, you always feel you have to go further, and you make several films together. One film just gives you time to get acquainted. ”

I have no relationship to the French bourgeoisie. I don't like connecting with them. ”

When I was a child I had a nightmare, and in the morning, I asked my mother and father, 'If I kill someone, would you still love me?' My parents were very preoccupied with this, but I think I'm not the only one to ask for that - not love, but absolute fidelity. ”
