The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Xavier Dolan
- We are all different human beings, and we all have different backgrounds, and we stem from different social strata. That is what defines how you hear people talk, how you want to quote them when you speak. We all have different fears and doubts and complexes and this is what shapes the way we see other people. Especially characters.
- ‘Heartbeats’ is a film on people magnifying and subliming reality when they’re in love. Hence the overstylized look, the aesthetics, the robes, the dresses, the vintage, hipster-ish look: All of this is voluntary. I’m not a hipster. I’m not!
- The scene of independent cinema is already a large scene in America, and not in a negative way, but it’s cluttered. It’s very populated with just American films, so the room left for foreign movies is not extremely vast. The American public also does not really read. They don’t read subtitles. But we’re like that in Canada, too.
- ‘Titanic’ made me want to tell stories… To have all these characters and costumes and have ambition and think big and have dreams… It came at a very troubled period of my life.
- I’ve been recording forever. I’m a watcher. I’m a stalker. I love everything about people. It’s always been a passion for me to observe.
- In ‘Laurence Anyways,’ Nathalie Baye is Laurence’s mother, and she is quite an awful mother. Still, she is the only one in the end who truly accepts her daughter.
- My extreme characters are in a state of rebellion or who are being ostracized or being misunderstood, or misfits or trying to fit in and fighting for their rights to love, live, and co-exist. They sort of mirror my own demons.
- I love doing costumes. The costume is an actor’s first line, so it’s gotta be right!
- I’m very much a hypochondriac, worried about dying, and not having enough time to work with the people I want to work with and being fulfilled as an actor.
- The problems I have with a flawed script are always revealed in the editing room.
