Alan Ball
I'm not a believer in luck, but I do believe you need it.
Alan Ball

Alan Ball
I think the world is a place for oddballs and freaks. I'm only interested in oddballs and freaks as characters.
Alan Ball
That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is going to cave in.
Alan Ball
Vampires are total sexual metaphors there's just no way around that.
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 think sexuality is a window into someone's soul.
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
I definitely see the good in people. Certainly in my own life I strive to be somebody who is functional and well adjusted and can face conflict in a non-emotional and non-destructive way, and those are the people I try to surround myself with in my life. But as characters, they bore me.
Alan Ball
I'd seen 'Interview with A Vampire' and saw Dracula movies growing up, but I never thought, 'I love vampires I have to do a show about vampires.'
Alan Ball
I need to feel like the work I'm doing is not necessarily important, but meaningful, at least to me, because otherwise it just becomes a day job. It just becomes factory work and I get really frustrated.
Alan Ball
I certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't necessarily believe in vampires or werewolves or that kind of thing, but I believe there is definitely a realm we don't necessarily have access to.
Alan Ball
