“My films are always looked at strangely, and there is nothing I can do...” — Claire Denis Quote

My films are always looked at strangely, and there is nothing I can do about it.

I can be unkind to someone in the street or in the subway - I'm a bad-tempered person - but I'm unable to be unkind to a character. They exist because of me, and I have responsibility for them.

The history of colonisation cannot disappear.

Because TV is mostly close up, it has to be fast. And because it has to be fast, you don't have time to explain completely, by a sequence shot, what's happening between people. So instead of experiencing what's happening, say, when a couple is dancing, dialogue is used to explain.

Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.

Sometimes I write stuff that strangely predicts what's going to happen in my life.

I still love 'All Right Now,' strangely enough. But then that's probably because I didn't play it for some twenty years.
