Jean-Pierre Léaud: Jacques Laurent

Quotes 

• Olivia Rochet : What do you prefer to film? Dramatic scenes, or sex scenes?

  Jacques Laurent : Blow jobs. That's the soul of porno. The most stimulating part. I've always found it disquieting. You don't just have two interlocking organs. You also have a face. The last bastion of humanity.

• Jacques Laurent : Capitalism leads to crisis and crisis to war. So me, since I'm a pacifist. I chose revolution because there was no third solution.

• Jacques Laurent : But nothing can defeat me except sickness.

• Jacques Laurent : Everything was politicized. Making pornographic films was also a political act.

• Jacques Laurent : I'm a bit drunk, but at least that's made me polite.

• Jacques Laurent : You talk about my career and I talk about my life. So your questions are obscene. So that's why you are obscene, not me.

• Jacques Laurent : History is the passion of sons who wish to understand the fathers. - Pier Paolo Pasolini
