Valérie Quennessen Quotes
We spoke English in the film, which is not difficult for me. I studied English in school and in Spain. I can think in English as well as French, although I think differently in each language. Every French word has a history for me. Each has many inflections and nuances which I must consider before I use it. English is new. I don't worry about the nuances. I go directly to the idea. I try to communicate with the camera without wasting time on the meaning of the words themselves
