Audition Quote by Philippe Falardeau
“I will see 100 or 200 and I will take my time with them and I audition them for the two main roles. If I like what I see, but they're not exactly right for the role, I'll think well I have this other role that might work for them. Sometimes I will write a role for them because I want to work with them because they're so good.”

![“In Canada, I've had success raising money. I think I was fortunate enough. But today, I would have to write a very, very bad script not to be financed for the next one. I'm assured at least of the next one, but you're always [only] as good as your last film. I think it's true for anyone.” quote by Philippe Falardeau](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/574/philippe-falardeau-11523_assured_in-canada-i-ve-had-success-raising-money_68419.jpg)
