You were up at 5 o’clock in the morning, and then you’d ride in a caravan, because we didn’t have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp. – Marguerite Moreau
You definitely want to do the little films. They’re always going to be harder, but you don’t do them to make money. You do them so you can see what you can make with the research that you have. – Marguerite Moreau
Parents are your teachers until a certain point, and if they don’t give you love, you’ll go somewhere else to find it. – Marguerite Moreau
I keep every script from every film that I ever made because it’s like a workbook of that time in my life. – Marguerite Moreau
I like working in any medium. Who’s making it? How much do I like the story? Does it contribute something? – Marguerite Moreau
We had two cameras, so they could turn it on and shoot as much as we wanted. You don’t have to worry about wasting money on film. A lot more takes are possible. – Marguerite Moreau

I’m more of like a recreational surfer, not a consist surfer. Some people get out every week or every day. – Marguerite Moreau
I didn’t need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don’t get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn’t feel naked. – Marguerite Moreau
There’s an easygoing nature that comes with a perspective of things that aren’t as important as we make them sometimes. – Marguerite Moreau
It’s hard to make something collaboratively. That’s the challenge. Sometimes you’re successful. – Marguerite Moreau
Miramax can buy a small independent movie that isn’t very good, but because it has great relationships with different theaters, it can get into a big theater. – Marguerite Moreau
I’m most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories. – Marguerite Moreau
The sun would come up over the ocean, and we’d be eating scrambled eggs before we shot some stuff. It was a vacation in the sense that it was the best working conditions. – Marguerite Moreau
