Personal Quotes

I was never a tough Quebecer who resents the monarchy, I wasn't an Anglo-basher. It's like I didn't care. Now I can say I have respect for the establishment they represent, even though they're born rich and live in palaces.

[on directing 'The Young Victoria'] It was a challenge for me and that's why I wanted to make it. It's so much out of my world. I wasn't attracted by the royal family. But once I had to make a film on them, I became curious to learn about their world and be faithful to what they are. We don't have this in Quebec, and this respect for tradition and rituals.

[on Café de Flore (2011)] I wanted to make something different, and to flirt with a supernatural kind of film. And not make a classic realistic love story. I wanted it to be emotional and be special and be different, so the audience will wonder 'What kind of film am I watching? Is this just a character-driven film. Is this a genre film?' And always balancing one to the other and try to figure out what's going on.
