“We need cinema to know each other and love each other.” — Maimouna Doucoure Quote

“We need cinema to know each other and love each other.”

“Today you have that exposition of your body on social media and you also have this big competition of finding 'likes' and followers and that is for me a new kind of finding love.”

“For me, what counts the most is my film. I can express myself and therefore take care of myself through my art. Cinema not only heals me, but it can change the world.”

“I have not done films that need me to be a superstar. I have done more off-beat cinema.”

“I didn't have this feeling that I should be a leading actor in the cinema. And I wouldn't want the responsibility of the opening weekend.”

“The second-grade films - where are they? No more are they made, and yet they were by far the best films for holding hands at, and wasn't this always the main purpose of the cinema?”
