Stupidity is infinitely more fascinating that intelligence. Intelligence has its limits while stupidity has none.

I'm not pessimistic about people in general, but only about the way they live.

Claude Chabrol 42 quotes

I like to have the screen full of color, twenty colors on the screen at once, fifty colors. There are no dominants despite what people have said.

There is no new wave, only the sea.

It's often wrong to write for specific actors because one ends up using what is least interesting about them, their mannerisms and habits. I prefer not to write for specific people.

You have to accept the fact that sometimes you are the pigeon, and sometimes you are the statue.

I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.

I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control.

You make a film to distract people, to interest them, perhaps to make them think, perhaps to help them be a little less naive, a little better than they were.

I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.

My father wanted me to be a pharmacist like himself. He had been a doctor, but he no longer believed in medicine; so he became a pharmacist, but he believed in that hardly more.

To observe a profoundly stupid individual can be very enriching, and that's why we should never feel contempt for them.

As far as I was concerned, either I was a homosexual or I wasn't, so making films would change nothing.

There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.

A woman confronting men is a proper subject, it is inexhaustible.

Claude Chabrol 42 quotes

On their own, each [character...

On their own, each [character] is a victim of no importance. But when you bring them together, they become a dangerous weapon. Jeanne is the vowel and Sophie the consonant. Psychologists know this phenomenon well. Each individual is harmless, but together they create an explosive chemical reaction. It's like Bonnie and Clyde, like Thelma and Louise.

Stupidity is infinitely more fascinating that intelligence. Intelligence has its limits while stupidity has none.

I like to have the screen full of color, twenty colors on the screen at once, fifty colors. There are no dominants despite what people have said.

Films with a message just make me laugh.

First I went to the Sorbonne to do my licence en lettres, but I also started to study law
