I'd rather be referred to as a precocious young Quebec talent, than not be referred to at all.

As a director you want to have actors, not only surpassing themselves, but also going somewhere, going different places.

I'm sick of people imposing cultural references and influences on me, but I'm not sick of people talking about my age.

I think that when you're in love, you progressively go back to who you are.

A movie that is unable to elicit emotion isn't a movie.

What motivates every other decision artistically or technically is the acting. This is what motivates everything. Never can a camera move be incompatible with the emotion of the actor at that moment. The movement, the style, the atmosphere, everything is dictated by the actor.

I don't master my craft or my style enough to have any philosophy or dogma to which I feel I belong.
