Perhaps my favourite story is 'Le Passe-Muraille' by Marcel Ayme. It's about a guy who wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. He's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration.

More quotes by Michel Gondry
Michael Jackson will always be my favorite pop musician he was for years and years until his death, which was horrible to me. So I like pop culture. But to me, even if it's popular, there is a quality in the music you have to be able to appreciate.
Michel Gondry
If people don't like the trailer, then blame it on the people who made the trailer.
Michel Gondry
Orange is an underrated color, it's the second most underrated color after yellow.
Michel Gondry
It's very hard to say I'm surrealist. It's like saying I'm poetic. It's not something you want necessarily to be aware of.
Michel Gondry
In a way, putting actors deep into this sort of complicated universe frees them from thinking about who they should be. They just are somebody.
Michel Gondry
When I saw The Matrix and other movies of this type, I wished I had been given the opportunity to express myself with all this technology and do something sort of big in scale, but the right material never really came my way.
Michel Gondry
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
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
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.
Michel Gondry
I don't want to compare myself to him - I don't want people to see me as this great genius - but when I see Charlie Chaplin's movies there is a combination of drama, naivety and social meaning that I can see in myself, at a different level.
Michel Gondry
I want to explore new ideas and put myself in a place where I can finish a project that is more unusual or that doesn't seem doable.
Michel Gondry
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
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
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
At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.
Michel Gondry
Pop music is created by repression - and then the system takes it and makes even more money with it!
Michel Gondry
In my opinion, it's more interesting to see magic happening in a world that feels grounded. If the world is already crazy, then anything can happen. So it's better to start with something real.
Michel Gondry
I hate cynicism. I wipe it from me. I don't like cynical people. I don't like cynical movies. Cynicism is very easy. You don't have to justify it. You don't have to fight for it.
Michel Gondry
I don't like those shows where people get eliminated every week, and then they have to get meaner to survive.
Michel Gondry
I think the purpose of test screenings is different for the studio and for the filmmaker. For the studio, I think they want to know whether the film works or not.
