Patrice Leconte Quotes

I love movies, of course. 'Terminator 3' and 'Bad Boys II' - lots of action. Sports movies, action movies, comedies - I'll go to those, but not 'las de amor.' Not romance. It's not that I don't like love, but on the screen it bores me.

I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies.

I like to sing covers of songs that are at the extreme ends from what I usually listen to.

There's no one type of film that I like watching. I loved 'Tropic Thunder' and the first 'Austin Powers,' and then 'The Godfather Parts I' and 'II,' 'There Will Be Blood,' Wes Anderson films.

I'm not fixed in any genre. I love all kinds of films. The essential thing is; you have to have good material. If you have the filmmaker, and the material, and the script is good, you can start from there.

I have a pretty eclectic taste in the movies that I like to watch, and also in the movies that I'm inspired to work on.

I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.

I like a lot of documentaries, I like political movies and political thrillers. But I also like a good action movie. I like a pretty wide range.

I grew up on Mel Brooks films. That was film to me until I got a little bit older and realised there were other kinds of movies.

I call myself a grasshopper. I paint, I write poetry, and I'm in a band. When it comes to movies and TV, I like to work in everything and with everyone. I wanna do it all, beyond even the screen.

It's not about choosing a specific genre; that's not how I go about deciding what movies to make.

A life of very, very serious, po-faced films would drive me nuts. I need - and I'm fortunate to have - a fairly varied menu in that respect. I mean, I was shooting 'Mamma Mia!' at the same time as I was doing Michael Winterbottom's 'Genova'. That was a very, very bizarre summer.

I get bored watching action movies.

Personally, I've always liked movies about big diamonds, like 'Pink Panther' and 'The Thomas Crown Affair.' I've always found those films really interesting, and they have a good energy about them, which I like.

I like stuff like 'Top Gun.' I like horror films. I love them.

I'd say my heart is more in independents, but sometimes these major films come along that are pretty good, you know?

I want to explore all genres.

I want to do comedy, I want to do horror, I want to do all these other things.

I'm a big Hitchcock fan, and I love anything by Almodovar.

I love movies like 'Girl, Interrupted' and 'Infinitely Polar Bear.' I love action movies.

I grew up playing in rock bands while I was listening to rap records. I like a lot of stuff.

I'm very much an action movie type of person. My wife is more of a 'Notebook' type of girl.

I'm an eclectic individual when it comes to film. I love my Disney: 'Aladdin,' 'The Lion King.' Also, 'Romeo+Juliet,' the Leonardo DiCaprio version.

Action movies haven't been encouraging in my case. Nevertheless, this is my favourite genre.

I like human-interest movies that are light-hearted.
