“Orson Welles was lazy. He was a late bloomer.” — Xavier Dolan Quote

Orson Welles was lazy. He was a late bloomer.

Of all the labels and tags and epithets people have forced upon me, there's one I don't dislike. I get called the 'enfant terrible.' In every article, it's always there. So I have to give that a meaning.

No one knows me in the States because the movies have been released in such an awkward, irregular fashion, all by different distributors. There is no continuity.

We are all different human beings, and we all have different backgrounds, and we stem from different social strata. That is what defines how you hear people talk, how you want to quote them when you speak. We all have different fears and doubts and complexes and this is what shapes the way we see other people. Especially characters.

I was a late bloomer on the career front.

I love the stuff I recorded with Ron Sexsmith, the album is called 'Long Player Late Bloomer' and it's beautiful.

I got a very late start at fatherhood. I'm a late bloomer in general. It took me seven years to get through four years of college. I was five years away from 40 before I had a family, and I had never been around kids much at all. All of a sudden, I was around three boys all the time.

I think I was very much a late bloomer.

I was definitely a late bloomer and didn't really come into my own until I was probably in my 20s.
