There is an amount of abstraction in my movies, and sometimes they don't really understand it until the film is finished.
Michel GondryI find it particularly shocking that people work all week long, and then on the weekend they give their money to another big corporation. I remember reading an interview with Walt Disney, and he said how he got the idea to create Disney World. He saw his grandson playing in the sand in a little park, and he assumed he was bored. And he said he could provide him a better alternative. But what you get is a little bit of entertainment, and then basically they try to get your money. And I truly believe his grandson was having a great time when he was playing with the sand.
Michel GondryI don't like movies that are too manipulative. A lot of movies thrive on really pushing your buttons and making you hate the villain.
Michel GondryI'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.
