I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.

More quotes by Michel Gondry
At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.
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
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
Orange is an underrated color, it's the second most underrated color after yellow.
Michel Gondry
I'm always excited to work with actors.
Michel Gondry
I don't call cut between the takes - it's my way to help the actor keep focused. As soon as you say 'cut' you have 10 people jumping on them and everybody's trying to do a great job, and they do, but sometimes they forget that the more important thing is the performance, creating the performance.
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
I don't like those shows where people get eliminated every week, and then they have to get meaner to survive.
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
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
Since I was a kid, I've liked to see how things are done. Sometimes when you see how things are done, it's like watching a 'making of' within the story. You see the physical aspect, the construction of things.
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
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
All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.
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
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 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
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
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
