I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this. But I have will to defend people - it can be all sorts of people.

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

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

I'd like to do something meaningful in the smallest ways, not just words or idiotic writing.

Acting is everything to me and it's at the core of every decision. Whatever importance costumes, details, lights, camera, dialogue and everything else have, if the acting is bad, cheap, or overdone everything else is just gone.

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

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