James Gray Movies Quotations

There are very few movies in English about romantic obsession told with a seriousness of purpose.

I don't envy the job of people who have to watch five movies a day - that's insane.

I have three young children, and I kind of stopped going to movies in 2006. I go to see some, but I'm a little bit out of touch, and I didn't know who Marion Cotillard was.
