More quotes by Paul Haggis
I miss my mother very, very much.
Paul Haggis
I’m a deeply broken person, and broken institutions fascinate me.
Paul Haggis
I like to write about things about which I have no answers, questions that trouble me. These things trouble me.
Paul Haggis
As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.
Paul Haggis
I like to really respect the audience and let them come through on answers.
Paul Haggis
Always write from your gut, no matter what the project is.

The radical rightwing pegs Hollywood as a leftist town, which is completely wrong. There are a lot of actors, writers, and directors who talk a liberal agenda... but all the studio bosses, for as long as there have been studios, have all been as far rightwing as you can possibly imagine.
Paul Haggis
Right after we invaded Iraq, I put a sign on my lawn that said War is not the answer. That sign was either defaced, ripped up, or stolen every week. I had to replace that sign twelve times.

We are manipulated by fear and the fear of others, and how we're often manipulated into doing things and voting in ways that are against our own best interest. Look at healthcare.

Paul Haggis
You hear this story that we're all on the left, but when there's a demonstration, you count how many actors actually come out. If there's a half dozen, that would be a big day.
Paul Haggis
A creative person has to believe in the unseen and the untouched.
Paul Haggis
You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.
Paul Haggis
United States could be a great country. It needs to be a great country. It's our responsibility as citizens to make that happen, every single one of us.
Paul Haggis
We think we know what's right. With excessive pride comes blindness.
Paul Haggis
What I love about writing is the contradictions we all embody as human beings.
Paul Haggis
Walk through Santa Monica and try to find somebody who knows a young man or woman who's in this war. Here, war is an intellectual concept. If you lose your son or daughter, it's no longer an intellectual matter.
Paul Haggis
This is our fault. My fault as much as the next man's, because even if I was against the war, I didn't do enough to stop it.
Paul Haggis
I was trying to talk about where we are right now as a society, and talk about the fear we all live in, and certainly since 9-11, how it's affected us and the world.
Paul Haggis
When I started to allow the characters to go where they wanted to go, I just had to follow.
