More quotes by Xavier Dolan
When I write a film, I have already made the trailer
Xavier Dolan
I think that when you're in love, you progressively go back to who you are.
Xavier Dolan
I don't master my craft or my style enough to have any philosophy or dogma to which I feel I belong.
Xavier Dolan
I don't belong to any school or clique or ghetto. I don't have any preconceived ideas. I'm trying to serve a story and not a genre or a style.
Xavier Dolan
I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this. But I have will to defend people - it can be all sorts of people.
Xavier Dolan
I have the impression that every time I'm heartbroken, I leave a bit of myself behind. I am the believer. I go back and do the same mistakes over and over again and sign them proudly.
Xavier Dolan
As a director you want to have actors, not only surpassing themselves, but also going somewhere, going different places.
Xavier Dolan
What motivates every other decision artistically or technically is the acting. This is what motivates everything. Never can a camera move be incompatible with the emotion of the actor at that moment. The movement, the style, the atmosphere, everything is dictated by the actor.
Xavier Dolan
I'd rather be referred to as a precocious young Quebec talent, than not be referred to at all.
Xavier Dolan
Women have to define themselves in the eyes of men. They have to fight for their rights, especially in a society that will pretend that there is no fight or no battle, that it's a cliché, that feminists are reactionary, all these things.
Xavier Dolan
Acting is everything to me and it's at the core of every decision. Whatever importance costumes, details, lights, camera, dialogue and everything else have, if the acting is bad, cheap, or overdone everything else is just gone.
Xavier Dolan
I'd like to do something meaningful in the smallest ways, not just words or idiotic writing.
Xavier Dolan
I always wrote. I've written stories since I was 9. We didn't have a computer at home, but my aunt Magda had one. Whenever I'd go to her place, I was in the basement working on her computer, writing stories.
Xavier Dolan
I'd love to perform with other actors and act with actors, true actors. I would like to be in a movie and have full room for acting.
Xavier Dolan
I'd like to be taken in charge of as an actor, not to be abandoned with asinine dialogue and meaningless actions or stereotyped characters. I'd like to feel like I'm in a character driven story.
Xavier Dolan
I love women in my heart but not in my undies.
Xavier Dolan
I'm sick of people imposing cultural references and influences on me, but I'm not sick of people talking about my age.
Xavier Dolan
I think anything is possible to anyone who dreams, dares, works and never gives up.
Xavier Dolan
