Michel Gondry

“I'm not interested in real life. I'm interested in how to forget it.”

“The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.”

“A dream is a stupid way to solve your problems.”

“I'm more interested in the process than the result.”

“I like to do things with my hands. I've always been a maker.”

“Randomness is the toothpaste of free will.”

“I like the idea of a dream being a compilation of things you're not aware of.”

“I believe that the way to be a director is to be a director. I've learned that I can't be a director by trying to be a director.”

“If you're creating a world, it's really important to be able to control every aspect of it.”

“There is not a big difference between a story and a lie.”

“My brain is a factory of ideas.”

“Technique is a gift from God. You can't learn it.”

“To me, the camera is a big eye, and the director is the person who is looking through it.”

“I really like to work with people who are good enough to get it right, but not so good that they're not afraid to get it wrong.”
