More quotes by Alan Ball
Racism is ridiculous no matter where it's coming from.
Alan Ball
As a culture, we are not comfortable with mortality. We do not accept it the way other cultures do. We cling to youth, and we don't want to die. It's like, 'Well, too bad, we do.'
Alan Ball
I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.
Alan Ball
Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.
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 difference between film and TV is the pace. You don't have the leisure of time in television.
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 think all writers are armchair psychologists to some degree or another, and I think a character's sexuality is fascinating. It's a great way to really get at the root of their identity, because it's such a personal thing.
Alan Ball
I believe forgiveness is possible for everybody, for everything, but I'm a Buddhist.
Alan Ball
You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure.
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
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
Well, here's the thing with relationships on 'True Blood': Once they happen then you have to throw a monkey-wrench into them, because to have people be happy is not that exciting.
Alan Ball
I think sexuality is a window into someone's soul.
Alan Ball
There are times when I am directing, and there are a couple of moments I didn't get the way I wanted, but I know I still have other angles to shoot and I have to be done by noon I move on.
Alan Ball
The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It's not so easily tamed or subdued.
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
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.
Alan Ball
There is a fetishization of victimization in our culture. And I just am not interested in victimhood.
Alan Ball
