Michel Gondry Actors Quotations

When I shoot actors, I have that dilemma. I want the actor to be good, and sometimes I have to push them to a place that isn't pleasant. I always think: 'Is it worth doing for the sake of the movie?' But I have to remember the bigger picture.

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.

I like actors who don't have to think too hard about what they have to do to achieve their performance.

I like actors who just are who they are, with a little bit of qualification to adapt to their character. But mostly they just use their own personality to embody the character.

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

I'm always excited to work with actors.
