The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God’s name is Abraxas.

- AfterElton: Congratulations on Heartbeats. How did you get into to filmmaking?
- Xavier Dolan: It’s maybe a surprising answer, but I wanted to be sure I could play the role of Hubert in I Killed My Mother, and I thought, “I don’t want to a director to be over me and saying “No, I’m thinking of that other actor or that big star…” I thought, “This is really my life and I’m going to direct it.” Meanwhile, I had just dropped out of college, and watching films I realized that I wanted to be part of this. To participate in the cinematic experience and be part of this universe; to be an artist… I was young; I was 17. And then it became obvious to me that I wanted to become a director as well.

Blindness
Doctor’s Wife: The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see.
**
King of Ward 3: I will not forget your voice!
Doctor’s Wife: And I won’t forget your face!
**
Thief: That’s the asshole who’s responsible for all this, if I had my fuckin’ eyes I’d kill him.
First Blind Man: He’s responsible for stealing my car.
**
First Blind Man: He stole my car.
Doctor: It doesn’t matter, what are you gonna do with a car, you can’t drive anyway?
Thief: He stole my sight!
**
Doctor: You of all people… born blind should understand empathy… and human decency.
King of Ward 3: Shut up. Shut up. He’s blind. That’s all. That doesn’t make him good or bad! That just makes him blind. And now, he’s blind with a purpose. Because he’s looking out for the sick and the hungry of his own ward.
