More quotes by Claire Denis
"I always scout locations first. The apartments, the railway tracks, the café, the canal - I figure out the geography of the film."
"I'm an anxious person. What I like best is to smoke cigarettes and listen to music. A perfect day for me is a day with coffee, cigarettes, and music, to quote Jim Jarmusch."
"I don't think I make genre movies. There is a certain type of violence in my films but I think I have my own genre because I made it happen like that."
"Start with scout locations first."
