My films are always looked at strangely, and there is nothing I can do about it. Claire Denis Read Quote
I’ve heard it said many times, ‘Let’s work on the look of the film,’ but that doesn’t work with me. Claire Denis Read Quote
I was never very interested in my own experience, I think, in fact, if my films have a common link, maybe it’s being a foreigner – it’s common for people who are born abroad – they don’t know so well where they belong. Claire Denis Read Quote

What I don’t like so much is to give explanations about people’s behaviour… I’m not interested in making conclusions.

We don’t all look alike – some people think they’re tough, some people think they’re fragile – but in the end, we share a lot. Claire Denis Read Quote
