Repulsion Quotes

I find sometimes that it`s more difficult to do very simple, low-key films, like I`ve done with André Téchiné. Sometimes, at the end of a shoot with him, I feel very down, like I`m leaving something because these are low-key but novel characters. But when you do films like Repulsion (1965) or musicals, where you have to play someone so far away from yourself, what I do is I come in the morning and get involved in the character, but I`m always very pleased to leave it at night and have my life. No, I don`t live that much with the character. I find it hard enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day. Because you don`t act all the time and you spend a long time waiting, but you still have to support this character all day long.

The satirist is prevented by repulsion from gaining a better knowledge of the world he is attracted to, yet he is forced by attraction to concern himself with the world that repels him.

I feel a repulsion for money. It`s a f*****g fetish.
