Famous quotes by Michel Gondry:

"He was everywhere at once."

"We were hoping to define an era and a community without being too lecturing - to show people having a good time. On camera and off, Dave is charming. I thought it would be good to follow him around with a camera because he generates so much warmth."

"It is not pretentious. It just gives you the feeling you could do it yourself."

"I always had disturbing dreams from when I was a child. Seeing that they disturb me, I might as well make money from it."

"He doesn't believe he loves his relationship until he dreams it."

"Block Party"

"Eternal Sunshine"

"I think my imagination dictates the technologies I use. But at the same time, my imagination can be technologic. Sometimes I see a tool and I know immediately how to use it, but most of the time I use the tool for an idea I already have."

"When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream."

"Childhood occupies the biggest part of your brain, so a lot of my memories subconsciously (and consciously) enter the videos I do."

"I don't like the idea of competition - maybe because I kept losing them when I was a kid. Maybe it's better to be the one who loses?"

"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."

"I'm attracted to working with comedians because they don't have that stars' idea of what a hero should be. The downside is they're always addressing the camera too much."

"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."

"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."

"Perhaps my favourite story is 'Le Passe-Muraille' by Marcel Ayme. It's about a guy who wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. He's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration."

"I don't want to compare myself to him - I don't want people to see me as this great genius - but when I see Charlie Chaplin's movies there is a combination of drama, naivety and social meaning that I can see in myself, at a different level."

"I don't like vampire movies or zombie movies. I went to see 'I Am Legend' with an ex-girlfriend the other day, and I immediately realised it was a zombie movie! You know what I mean? There are certain rules, and those rules are things that you've seen many times."

"People who get to express their voice are paid by the people who make profit from it. So they're going to make you believe you have to spend your money buying these products otherwise you won't be happy. This is really wrong. Especially the implication it carries."
