Quotes

  • (On Un compagnon de longue date (1989)) I remember every second of it, from the first audition straight through to the wrap. I knew it was going to be a groundbreaking film by the time I'd read the first ten pages of Craig Lucas's script, because I'd never read anything like it before.
  • (1997 - On his favorite films that he has done) I've always held Un compagnon de longue date (1989) and Break Out (1992) in a little higher regard than some of the more simply entertaining films I've done - they were films that had something to reveal to the world. Also, Ça tourne à Manhattan (1995) was a strange little achievement by a handful of people I really love.
