All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.

I'm always excited to work with actors.
Michel Gondry
Image
Orange is an underrated color, it's the second most underrated color after yellow.
Michel Gondry
Image
I find, surprisingly, that actors are liberated in their work if there's stuff going on around them, because they can't think too much about who they're supposed to be.
Michel Gondry
Image
I like the days when all the filmmakers had was a film roll, a camera and a gangster. The Mack Sennett comedies were all like that. They'd create little teams to go out and shoot films.
Michel Gondry
Image
I learned to drive when I was 35. I'm driving like an old lady and very close to the wheel. I don't take many risks, and when people yell at me I say 'sorry, sorry, sorry!' I don't have road rage yet.
Michel Gondry

Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.
Michel Gondry
Image
I don't like movies that are too manipulative. A lot of movies thrive on really pushing your buttons and making you hate the villain.
Michel Gondry
Image
It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.
Michel Gondry
Image
I'm part of the consumer culture... I'm just using the space I am given to express something that is out of the space so I'm part of the consumer system but I'm advocating stepping out. Which is a contradiction but I could be part of he consumer system and say, 'let's consume even more.'

You can't feel sorry for a scene. If the movie works without the scene, then you don't need the scene.
Michel Gondry
Image
You cannot do everything you want with the 3D camera, it's too big, and the digital quality of those cameras is a little bit limiting. With film, you have a lot more subtly, like with highlights and color. In terms of sharpness they (both formats) are very close but in terms of nuance, of color and contrast, film is far superior.

I was sort of lazy at school, but I realize I still have something to bring to the subject which is comforting. I feel I am not as stupid as I thought I was.
Michel Gondry
Image
At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.
Michel Gondry
Image
I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.
Michel Gondry
Image
I have a video store next to my apartment in Paris, and they still have most of their videos on VHS. A lot of people think Be Kind Rewind is set in the past because they just wipe this reality out of their head, but it is true that there are a lot of movies that don't exist on DVD. But I'm not like a big movie buff.
Michel Gondry
Image
I think always my interest in making movies is to have something really technical mixed with something that was not so formal...something free.
Michel Gondry
Image
I would define myself as being naive and perverse at the same time. And I think that if that is consistent it will make the tone consistent.
Michel Gondry
Image
The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.
Michel Gondry
Image
I had a lot of encouragement and tolerance from my parents, but I also have many friends who didn't get that from their parents and in a way they have more strength from spending years where nobody believed in them.

If people don't like the trailer, then blame it on the people who made the trailer.
