• I think cinema is the memory and the imagination of the country. Take the memory and imagination out of an individual, and he stops being an individual. I think its the same thing for a country.

• No quería que la película fuera didáctica, y esto es difícil porque si miras la lista de temas, tienes la inmigración, el sistema educativo, tienes el duelo, tienes el suicidio. Creo que lo que me salvó fueron dos cosas. Intenté hacerlo todo con cierto nivel de contención y dejar que el espectador se formara su propia opinión.

• I teach myself archaeology, I teach myself Spanish, and that's because it can be fun, it can be useful. So I keep studying. I read books because I still want to study. I don't want to stop.

• Aunque sabía que probablemente ganaría Separation, cuando anunciaron la película, pensaba para mis adentros "¡Oh! ¡Quiero esto! Quiero esto!" Por eso, cuando no ganamos, me deprimí durante unos 20 minutos, pero luego me recuperé y disfruté del resto de la velada.

• Some people around me said "Get a tux and live this and enjoy this" and that's what I did. It was a fun experience. On the red carpet, I was just behind Rooney Mara who I adore, and I had to not act too conspicuously because my girlfriend was there. Behind me, there was Glenn Close. So, it was kind of interesting.

• The irony is I did an intimate film in France with no stars and that got me to Hollywood. It got me to the Oscars. If I had tried to imitate the Americans or the Hollywood movies with a commercial recipe, I'd never have gotten to Hollywood. Although, it was not my goal in any way, and I never thought there was any connection between Monsieur Lazhar and the Oscars.

• I think it's the same thing for a country. We are lucky then that we can get some financing from the government, because it means when I get the money, when I get the grant to do the film, of course it's based on the script, but I have total artistic control and I can do personal stuff.

• That's grossing money for other people that has a multiplying factor, but the government doesn't see that. It doesn't see that making a film or culture or art is part of our economy. But the main reason is this, it's part of our identity. I think cinema is the memory and the imagination of the country. Take the memory and imagination out of an individual and he's stops being an individual.

• We have a conservative government that only thinks in terms of efficiency. They are spending a lot of money on military expenses and less and less on culture. My position is that culture can actually be economically viable. When I make a film, the film costs $3 million. Now, in Quebec, it grossed $3.5 million, which is a small film. It's not a comedy. There are no stars in it. And, it still grosses $3.5 million. That's just in Quebec.

• The notion, the invention of a country, is fairly new in the history of mankind. We tend to forget that. We want to protect our country. The country is something that's fairly new. It's 250 years old, maybe 300 years old, so it's bound to change and evolve also. Migration is part of that.

• Now I realize that I have to let everyone take what they have to take from the film. No matter what I think about the film, it becomes a little irrelevant. I think I would say that the film is trying to show us that - and I spoke about that earlier - we have to let the teachers invest in their own classroom. There's no use in trying to control everything. Education is fundamental.

• Pasamos por la vida y esto también forma parte del proceso educativo. En la vida real, nos encontramos con malos jefes y buenos jefes y buenos amigos y malos amigos. Creo que debemos dejar que los profesores hagan su trabajo y no imponerles demasiadas cosas.

• I'm pretty optimistic that in the future these kind of films will also be part of the main categories, perhaps not in a foreign language, but certainly more socially and politically engaged films, or films that will happen where the story takes place outside the United States.

• Si uno mira los Oscar y se fija en la categoría de mejor película en lengua extranjera, ve que las películas proceden de todas partes: de Quebec, Israel, Polonia y Bélgica. No son las habituales francesas, alemanas, etc. Esta categoría se está abriendo a películas socialmente comprometidas y políticas. Creo que también vamos a ver un trasvase a las categorías principales. Ahora forma parte de este entorno global y agradezco que la Academia tenga esta ventana abierta al cine mundial.

• It's like a laboratory, a micro-society of real life, so it didn't look odd to talk about bureaucracy. In the school, in the class, there are already a lot of children from different ethnic backgrounds so the reality is there. I don't have to shove it in people's face. It's just there and it's normal.

• If you look at the end of the movie [Monsegnor Lahzar], I give a lot of space to what the spectator can also imagine of what's going to be Bachir's life afterwards. So, there's the restraint part, and there's the fact that the story is happening in the school which allowed me to tackle all these subjects without making it too didactic, because in the school everything happens.

• There is some humor in Monsieur Lazhar and in all my other films, but this one I'll try to make a real comedy from start to finish. It's called Prescott Etc. because the name of the constituency is so long that everybody in the constituency just says Prescott Etc. I don't know if that's what it will be. It's a working title.
