I've dreamed a lot, but i'm not a very good sleeper.
Michel Gondry

I'm always excited to work with actors.

I always wanted to create this community that would come and tell their own story, shoot it - and watch them. The idea is to not have one entity who creates the work, the project, and another entity who consumes it the idea is people create their own work, like somebody cultivating his garden.

Pop music is created by repression - and then the system takes it and makes even more money with it!
Michel Gondry
Image
All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.
Michel Gondry
Image
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
Image
I shoot people in a way that makes the audience feel equal to them. And it's hard to express and it's hard to execute but I think it works on every level - the choice of the material the choice of the actor, my relationship with the actor, and so on.

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 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.

The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.

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.

In the '90s movies were so serious, and so stylistic and slick that I could not identify with them.
Michel Gondry
Image
Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.

At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.
Michel Gondry
Image
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.

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
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.

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.

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

I've always loved 3D. In fact, as a kid, I was exposed to 3D at an early age because my grandfather was a specialist of 3D in cinematheques. And then my cousin put it in 'Science of Sleep' with toilet paper tube cities. But he was a specialist and I always wanted to do something in 3D.
