Quotes

Melissa Mars

  • [About shooting a movie in Erbil, Kurdistan (Iraq)] When I think that not less than 50 miles away from here is the war of unspeakable violence. But 50 miles or 500 miles from Erbil or from Paris or L.A there is no difference for me. I do not know what to do. I can not do anything. Just convey information, forward it, tell stories, come in an area where we are shooting the first international film, share the splendor and History of it soon with you, see the smiles and happiness of the local crews, "action" "bedeng!" Silence - it makes me feel somehow "of use" in this world.
  • [About her first dubbing experience for "Weightless", Terrence Malick feature starring an ensemble cast including Natalie Portman, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara...] A completely new experience of Acting: just a few seconds are given to sync your voice and your own acting into what another actor did and prepared in weeks or months, trying to respect their work, personality, energy, given circumstances, emotions and keep it reel by being just behind a mic, not in the situation, not in the wardrobe, not with the other actor... crying on the go... Wow!!! It's pretty intense.
  • About shooting her music video in Kurdistan, Iraq: "Because Music, Cinema and Art in general... have no borders, no religion!"
