More quotes by Alan Ball
I will say that the environment I grew up in was not the most progressive.
Alan Ball
I'm not like J.K. Rowling, where I know there's going to be this number of seasons, and I know exactly what's going to happen. I would be so bored if that was the case. There would be no journey. There would be nothing to discover.
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
Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.
Alan Ball
I think vampires are a timeless powerful archetype that can tap into people's psyches.
Alan Ball
I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.
Alan Ball
I'm a huge freak, and always have been. I spent the first part of my life trying really desperately not to be one, and it was just a waste of time.
Alan Ball
Vampires are total sexual metaphors there's just no way around that.
Alan Ball
The important thing is that he shook hands with us over the phone.
Alan Ball
Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don't want to watch them on TV.
Alan Ball
Directing is physically exciting because there's a ticking clock, you're working with people, it's very social, it's very enjoyable.
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?
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 patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.
Alan Ball
I am a little suspicious of industry paradigms. I feel like so many movies and TV shows feel so familiar because of over-reliance on these paradigms.
Alan Ball
Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire. That somehow distances us from actually taking part fully with the reality we do have, and that creates suffering. For me, the thing that I love is that it's all about the present moment.
Alan Ball
You know, I'm gay and I grew up being aware of that at a very early age, in a fairly repressed family.
Alan Ball
I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.
Alan Ball
The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It's not so easily tamed or subdued.
Alan Ball
When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.
