On Marie Antoinette (2006): "It`s kind of like a history of feelings rather than a history of facts. So don`t expect a masterpiece theatre, educational Marie Antoinette biopic".
- Kirsten Dunst"Beyond the Sea (2004) is not a linear story at all. It`s not what people will expect and it`s not a biopic. It`s my statement".
- Kevin SpaceyOn a possible biopic of her life: `God I hope not. I`ve been working harder than anything in my life to try and keep my life sacred. I really don`t mind when I`m in front of a camera and playing a character I`m comfortable with... but I don`t necessarily like the spotlight to be about me - not at all. The idea of sitting in Cannes and watching that... ugh. No.`
- Charlize TheronI am interested in the non-dramatic moments in life. I`m not at all attracted to making films that are about drama. A few years back, I saw a biopic about a famous American abstract expressionist artist. And you know what? It really horrified me. All they did was reduce his life to the big dramatic moments you could pick out of any biography. If that`s supposed to be a portrait of somebody, I just don`t get it. It`s so reductive. It just seems all wrong to me.
- Jim Jarmusch
