I had this unimaginable chance to work for Jacques Rivette. It took me many years to appreciate the New Wave: Chabrol, Truffaut, Godard, I found them sectarian. The only one who seemed absolutely incredible to me was Rivette.
Claire Denis

There isn't an art of living inherent in cinema, there's only music which gives the taste of a certain kind of life. Deep down I'd like to have been Eric Burdon.
Claire Denis

In Trouble Every Day there is this scene where Vince Gallo is looking at his wife taking a bath, and you can see pubic hair moving in the water. That's one of Stuart's (of the TINDERSTICKS) songs — on his second CD there is a song called Sea Weeds and the story is just that. I truly wrote the scene because of that song. There is a lot of criss-crossing in my films.
Claire Denis

If filming means you have to control everything I'd shoot myself. You already have to control the framing, the colors, the costumes, the sets and all that. But that's done before, the control's done before. What I like during filiming is that these are moments when you have the right not to reply and to let things happen. Before the shoot, after the shoot, you have to account for everything.
Claire Denis
