I always loved Japanese movies. And they had an enormous impact in France - the Nouvelle Vague took so much from them. It taught us how the camera was placed in the centre of the action.
My parents were born abroad. I was born in France, but I feel comfortable everywhere - I don't see the borders.
Spring Break is very strange. I grew up in France, so I don't know Spring Break. That doesn't exist in Europe.
I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.
England and France were rivals, not only on the continent, but in the West Indies, in India, and in Europe.
I am and will remain a tax resident in France and in this regard I will, like all French people, fulfill my fiscal obligations.
Here, you go to the supermarket and you have wipes to clean your hands before shopping. No, we don't have that in France, but we recycle.
I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.
As in all his subsequent dealings with France, Ho Chi Minh's demands were a model of modesty.
France is a fantastic country. It's between the Anglo-Saxon and Latin cultures. We have some of the Anglo-Saxon rigor, and some of the Latin quirkiness.
Not many French producers work the American way. In France, the director decides everything, he has final cut. I'm trying to do things differently, without the Luc Besson solution.
It is true that in France, women put on less things. If they have a necklace, they don't put on earrings; if they have nail polish, they don't put on all their rings and all their bracelets.
The two main criminals are France and the United States. They owe Haiti enormous reparations because of actions going back hundreds of years. If we could ever get to the stage where somebody could say, 'We're sorry we did it,' that would be nice. But...
Casson: No wonder our people are giving up, they've lost faith! Montclair: We've failed them every single time! Col. Rodin: We won't fail them again! Casson: What can we do? We're paralyzed! Montclair: Every cop in France has memorized our faces! Inf...
Frances: It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room a...
Tommy Nettle: No one speaks the fucking lingo out here. You can't say 'pass the biscuit' or 'where's me hand grenade?', they just shrug. Cause they hate us too. I mean, that's the point. We fight in France and the French fucking hate us. Make me Home...
It makes me think that a marriage of true minds - to again quote Shakespeare - is in many ways just dumb luck.
A chap wouldn’t hole up in Occupied France just to get away from his wife, Vesta.
Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me.
Is France a completely open market to G.E.? No, of course not. I think we're more discerning about China because it's China, and they're big, and they're more concerning. But the best global companies are ones that are nuanced.
My message to France and Europe is that we will make sure Venezuela won't witness the rise of another Pinochet. And we will do it the democratic way.
