| “I came into this profession by chance, and I progress through it at random. The job is all in the detail and in the surprises. I don’t regret my choices because I always know why I’ve accepted at the outset. I can on the other hand regret the result. These days the game becomes dull when I start to ask myself if I’m on a project because I’m the ideal person for the part, or if I’m the ideal person … to ensure the film gets funded. I always ask the author of a screenplay that I like, “Why me?” ICI - 2nd February 2004 "You feel the most alive when you're creating," Dupuis said. "Of course, it's possible to balance your personal life and art. In fact, for an actor, you have to live and do other things than acting in order to better express yourself as an actor." The Montreal Gazette - February 07, 2004 "I must say that I miss the theatre, particularly rehearsals. Because that’s an incredibly enlightening creative process. Stage acting allows an actor to explore different avenues, to fly off in several directions, to see the different facets of a character. In the cinema there’s not enough time to establish those particular ties. Not forgetting that, in the theatre, there’s a pressure that I find healthy and full of energy. On the other hand, in the cinema there’s a greater appreciation of the immediacy of filmmaking. In the theatre, this is almost impossible to convey onstage." Séquences - January-February 2004 |
