Philippe Noiret in Cinema Paradiso (1988)

Quotes

Philippe Noiret

Edit
  • [on Delphine Seyrig] Ah, Delphine Seyrig, everyone was in love with her... charming woman. Sad, that. That's the worst thing. It's not getting old. It's watching others disappear.
  • [on director Bertrand Tavernier in a 1983 interview] I am completely free with Bertrand. I can do anything I feel, and I can try anything that I think of because I know he has a good eye, and he will tell me 'no' or 'yes,' or 'not quite so.'
  • [on working with Simone Signoret in a 1983 interview] It was quite an experience because she is a fabulous actress, because she knows absolutely everything about movies, about what an actor can do on the screen. It's a real challenge to have someone like that in front of you. But she is quite hard to work with because she wants to be at the head of everything, and you have to remain very alert because otherwise she can eat you. Alas, it makes things difficult. You have to stay a bit out of her reach because otherwise she might just manage to devour you.
  • [on Annie Giradot in a 1983 interview] Annie is the easiest person imaginable to work with, but just now she is not doing so very well because she made a lot of bad films, and I think she has some problems finding good scripts. I think the best way she could come back would be to find a role in a good play. She was not very clever in some career choices she made in the last period, and she is this certain kind of woman, aways ready to do anything to help anyone. She will come back because she is an extraordinary actress. I like her very much.
  • I don't have any general ideas, I already have trouble with specific ideas.
