Quote

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.

Vampires are total sexual metaphors there's just no way around that.
Alan Ball

I think sexuality is a window into someone's soul.

Not everything is going to be successful. To strive for that is really naive. You just do the best you can do.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

Never underestimate the power of denial.

It's a lot harder to find fault with the mundane details of daily existence when you really, really know on a cellular level that you're going to go, and that this moment, right now, is life. Life isn't what happens to you in 20 years. This moment, right now, is your life.

I think the world is a place for oddballs and freaks. I'm only interested in oddballs and freaks as characters.

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.

In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don't really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it's horrifying. But that's just human nature.

I think it's very difficult, and it requires a tremendous amount of spiritual integrity and discipline, to not be a narcissist in a culture that encourages it every step of the way.
Alan Ball
Image
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.

Obviously death is a theme I'm fascinated by.
Alan Ball
Image
Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

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.

There is a fetishization of victimization in our culture. And I just am not interested in victimhood.
Alan Ball
Image
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.

I'm used to American actors who have a movie career thinking television acting is beneath them.
