Quotes 

• François Gaucher : There are three kinds of directors. They tell a story, refuse to tell a story, or explain how to tell a story.

  [a couple of frames later] 

  François Gaucher : Spielberg tells a story, Fellini refuses to tell a story, and Godard explains how to tell a story.

• François Gaucher : Dreams are essential, they nourish us. We have to direct our dreams. They're part of our universe, our food and drink. You have to dream your life, not live it.

• François Gaucher : The situation counts. Not the words, they don't matter. You can say "I love you" and think the opposite. I may mean "I hate you". The words don't count, you must play the situation and the words come later.

• François Gaucher : Stars commit suicide, not beginners.
