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?
Michel GondryI kind of like the idea of taking a concept and going all the way with it, even if it's not completely plausible. It's something that I like about making movies. You have a concept that maybe would not work in real life, but you can make it work in the world you're creating.
Michel GondryEvery movie I do is challenging for me. There is some element of imaginative that you wouldn't have in a typical movie.
Michel GondryIf you're not grown up enough to understand that a trailer is not done by the director, then fine. Judge the movie from the trailer.
Michel GondryI think the tools were always available, for decades and decades, to make your own film and be creative. I don't think people had to wait for YouTube to do this type of small project. YouTube, I think it's great. I have this idiotic satisfaction. And I think there's a bit of that in YouTube. You share, true, but it's centralized, and it's already sort of controlled. I'm more for something that's not a centralized medium. Like doing your own film and screening it yourself. You cannot control people doing that.
