Jean Dujardin's quotes

• I discovered that silent film is almost an advantage. You just have to think of the feeling for it to show. No lines pollute it. It doesn't take much - a gaze, an eyelash flutter - for the emotion to be vivid.
• I think I'm more demanding than any wife.
• I love dancing in general and making girls dance. My generation doesn't do it enough.
• I like simple things. I like being in my family in the South and playing petanque.
• I feel very at home in an empty church. I feel the most protected. It's very mystical.
• I don't want to become a superstar and not see my family anymore.
• I don't want everyone to like me, and I don't choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.
• I don't care about my image.
• For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now.
• I'm happiest on set because I'm not myself. I'm someone else. The moustache, the dinner jacket. It's not me. You're always this sort of double, and it's liberating. Imagine being stuck with yourself... all those doubts.
• I watched Gene Kelly for his smile, for his energy. Vittorio Gassman for his movement. Clark Gable for his mustache. And I watched Lassie who was happy as a dog.
• I'm not an American actor. I'm a French actor. I'll continue in France. If I could make another silent movie in America, I'd like to!
• I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.
• I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person.
• I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.
• I like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.
• I guess we're all lucky to be in this profession where you can be someone else for two or three months on a film shoot. I find it restful. Vachement agreeable.
• I don't really know Hollywood, but living and shooting in L.A. was very motivating, inspiring. The lights, the extras, their American faces, the energy, the Orpheum Theatre. It was all very inspiring.
• For you, it's a silent movie. For us, it's a talking movie because we had lines on set. There's a lot of noise on set and music. We spoke in English, in French, in gibberish, but it was very alive. The challenge was tap dancing.
• Just telling a story. That's cinema. It's not silent, black and white. It's a simple story that's well made.
• It was always about the story rather than the character.
• In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I'll be offered films in America. It's the encounter, with the director and the story that counts.
• I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.
• What matters to me is my own estimation, and I'm very tough on myself. I need to be proud of what I've done and I work hard for it. I had a very Christian upbringing... lots of guilt. A good thing, It keeps you sane.
• It's quite pretentious, really, isn't it? The notion the audience is going to be interested in you for an hour and a half. Think too much about that and anxiety takes over.
• It was actually quite easy to work with Uggie, because he's a really well trained dog. Very talented. I just had to follow him a little bit, improvise a little bit. Sometimes he'd follow me. Especially because of the sausages I had in my pocket.
