I've Never Had Help From Anyone, Ever. I've Never Had This Great Director Who Saw Themselves In Me, Because I'm A French Woman In Hollywood. Who Could Identify With Me As A Successful Director In Hollywood? Nobody. And The Few People Who Could Have Been Mentors, Instead They Just Stole My Ideas.

More From Julie Delpy

People Think Women Directors Are Tough. Truth Is, I'm A Pussycat And I Hate Conflict. I Just Want Everyone To Be Happy On Set.

I Have A Few Other Films In My Life Where I'm Not Attached And For A Long Time It Was Too Complicated. Now It's Starting To Change Because Other Actresses Actually Want To Work With Me, Which Is Great.

I Wished I'd Been With Someone Else. I Knew That What I Was Feeling - Exactly What Was So Important To Me - They Didn't Understand.

I'm An Adaptable Nomad. I Love Paris, I've Been Living In Los Angeles And New York Since 1990. I Love London, Too. My Roots Are Inside Of Me.

I Had To Trick People Into Giving Me Money For My First Film. Making A Romantic Comedy Is Easier And More Expected From A Woman Than It Is To Make A Drama About A Japanese Warrior.
