Hes very precise and since he’s also an actor himself, the communicati — Xavier Dolan

"Yes, I came from nowhere. All my life, I heard Stop daydreaming, Get over yourself, Youll never get there, Aim lower, Youll hurt yourself, from teachers, family, and friends."

"I dont have mom issues or dad issues. I think I have found peace about many things in my past. I have forgiven and asked to be forgiven."

"I come from a popular environment. I don’t have a deep knowledge of auteur cinema. My wish as a director has always been to make films that I would like to see in theaters."

"Nathalie Lévy: You directed Gaspard Ulliel in Its Only the End of the World, and you wrote an intense message after the news of his death... Xavier Dolan: It was really his light... the allure he had... He was someone who... I still cant talk about him... And I still cant accept... I dream of him at night... very often. Sometimes those dreams look cruel... or... hyper realistic. Some look so real... and when I wake up its so painful. Nathalie Lévy: What was so singular about Gaspard? Xavier Dolan: I saw lots of interviews with Gaspard when he died. And he was someone who loved words... and loved to think. Sometimes he looked up at the sky, before speaking. And yet all of his words were relevant, measured, cultivated... He was a literate man, and curious. He spoke well. And he spoke when he had to speak."

"Madame, I am addressing this letter to you without even knowing you, without knowing you well. Outside, behind my bedroom window in the woods where I have taken refuge, the snow twirls in the air. It is transfigured by the light of the sun and the wind persists in beating it into loose snow. Big conifers rise in front of me, covered with a very heavy white deposit. Winter is calm, all of a sudden, after a brutal start."

"My big, always and forever love, my creative soul mate @xavierdolan ♥️"
