Alan Ball
The difference between film and TV is the pace. You don't have the leisure of time in television.
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
Television viewing has become for me a completely different experience, because I don't watch shows on a weekly basis. I wait until the DVD or I TiVo everything and wait until the end of a season and watch it all over a weekend. For me that's a really satisfying experience, like reading a book.

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
I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'
Alan Ball
The important thing is that he shook hands with us over the phone.
Alan Ball
I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to work as hard. Actually, I've had to take a good hard look at workaholism and it's effect on one's mental health.
Alan Ball
Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.
Alan Ball
I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.
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

Alan Ball
