More quotes by Michel Gondry
Orange is an underrated color, it's the second most underrated color after yellow.
Michel Gondry
People always say there is competition in nature, but I think that because we are human, it's not only competition. Because we are human we have something other than competition - sharing, helping others, or being oneself. Competition is really kind of ugly.
Michel Gondry
If you're not grown up enough to understand that a trailer is not done by the director, then fine. Judge the movie from the trailer.
Michel Gondry
Objectivity is very hard to achieve. It needs some research and patience. If you want to do something honest, you have to explore it a little longer.
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
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
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 want to see abstract art move. Especially in the '30s, you had animators doing innovative work, and I was entranced by that. It's basically what you see when you close your eyes, when you fall asleep.
Michel Gondry
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.
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
It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.
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
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.
Michel Gondry
I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.
Michel Gondry
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
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
I'm always excited to work with actors.
Michel Gondry
If people don't like the trailer, then blame it on the people who made the trailer.
Michel Gondry
My father had a Super 8 camera when I was a kid and sometimes he would use it. I did some animation with it. I did a lot of flipbooks.
Michel Gondry
At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.
Michel Gondry
