Clouds of Sils Maria Quote

Maria Enders: [Referring to Jo-Ann]She dives headfirst into a character's ambiguities, but I don't. That's why you admire what she does.
Valentine: Yeah. You know, I think that when you watch her in a movie like in the one we saw tonight, there is - there is no distance there.
Maria Enders: It's normal, it's a - culture. Right?
Valentine: Agreed.
Maria Enders: What's wrong with my acting? What do I need to do to make you admire me? Do I think too much? Huh? I'm too classical; not liberated like Jo-Ann? You're here to talk to me, so start talking.
Valentine: I don't know. You, you, you can't be as accomplished as you are and as well-rounded as an actress as you are and still expect to hold on to the privileges of youth. It just doesn't work that that.
Maria Enders: Oh. So I'm allowed to not be old as long as I don't want to be young. Is that it?
Valentine: Yeah, I don't know, I guess so. Yes, totally, well put. Fuck. I think maybe good night.

Movie: Clouds of Sils Maria
