More quotes by Alan Ball
If a scene is longer than three pages, it better be for a good reason.
Alan Ball
The important thing is that he shook hands with us over the phone.
Alan Ball
The fact that we die, that makes life important. It's hard to take, but it's the truth.
Alan Ball
When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.
Alan Ball
Never underestimate the power of denial.
Alan Ball
Vampires are total sexual metaphors there's just no way around that.
Alan Ball
I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life.
Alan Ball
Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.
Alan Ball
It's easy to look at the vampires as a metaphor for any feared or misunderstood group. It's also easy to look at them as a metaphor for a shadow organization that says one thing and has a completely different agenda on their mind, and anybody who gets in their way, they just get rid of them. Does that sound familiar?

I know a lot of shows are like, 'Here's the pages,' right before they start filming. I'd have a heart attack. The anxiety would be way too much for me. I don't have as strong a backbone as those other show writers.
Alan Ball
It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about.
Alan Ball
We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.
Alan Ball
My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.
Alan Ball
A lot of times, the choice of the right song will save a scene. Or there will be a scene that's a little flat and you put in the right song and somehow it just comes alive.
Alan Ball
I will say that the environment I grew up in was not the most progressive.
Alan Ball
Obviously death is a theme I'm fascinated by.
Alan Ball
Not everything is going to be successful. To strive for that is really naive. You just do the best you can do.
Alan Ball
I was conveniently bisexual for a long time, and then I went, 'Come on, who am I kidding?' And I have to say, it was the single biggest step I took toward emotional well-being, to stop feeling like I had to hide who I am.
Alan Ball
Life is too mysterious to try to map it out. I've certainly lived long enough to know it will take you places you never thought it would take you - and some of those places are kind of wonderful.
Alan Ball
I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.
