More quotes by Richard Linklater
As we know from our government, the more power you have, the more of a bureaucrat you are, and the more ego you have invested in being right, the greater the odds are that you will never change your opinion.
Richard Linklater
It's kinda like D.H. Lawrence had this idea of two people meeting on a road, and instead of just passing and glancing away, they decide to accept what he calls the confrontation between their souls. It's like freeing the brave, reckless gods within us all.
Richard Linklater
Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
Richard Linklater
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
Richard Linklater
If we're all going to die, shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now?

Richard Linklater
There are so many great artists, I think, who kind of suffer from being icons, legends, acknowledged masters.
Richard Linklater
I'm lucky that I get to jump around, do a big-budget comedy and then a smaller film. I don't even make a big distinction between them. No one believes this, but it's the same. I'm the same person, trying to make it work. I just love being on a movie set. I like making movies.
Richard Linklater
There are a million ideas in a world of stories. Humans are storytelling animals. Everything's a story, everyone's got stories, we're perceiving stories, we're interested in stories. So to me, the big nut to crack is to how to tell a story, what's the right way to tell a particular story.
Richard Linklater
We all give ourselves a lot of leeway, but we want consistency from other people.
Richard Linklater
Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.
Richard Linklater
Monogamy, monotony. There's only a couple of letters...
Richard Linklater
Well, you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting, people who have been disappointed so many times.
Richard Linklater
My sisters would swear that I was the spoiled kid who got everything he wanted, and I would go No way! I worked my ass off and you guys got everything. We're all kind of in our own narratives.
Richard Linklater
I did The Newton Boys and during the whole process of making the film, I may have spent a week in Los Angeles.
