More quotes by 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
If you take a child from South Africa and you put them in Boston, they're going to speak with a Boston accent. And so, that's a way to see the world as everybody is equal, not as a result of politics, but as human beings.
Michel Gondry
It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.
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
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 don't like those shows where people get eliminated every week, and then they have to get meaner to survive.
Michel Gondry
Sometimes, when people use too much blue screen in movies, the actors don't look credible, because they have their own opinion of what the thing will look like, and each person has a different opinion.
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
If people don't like the trailer, then blame it on the people who made the trailer.
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
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 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 MTV Video Awards were never about the video, but about the song. Most of the time it was just to glorify people for the wrong reason.
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
Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.
Michel Gondry
I've dreamed a lot, but i'm not a very good sleeper.
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'm just thinking of 2001, which I think is the most expensive independent film ever made - which is great, someday I hope I will do one. But I know the parameters when I got onto this project - I have to take care of everyone, make sure that they are all on board, and this process interests me.
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.
