More quotes by Richard Linklater
I didn't have any set idea of what kind of filmmaker I wanted to be. I knew I wanted to tell stories that meant something to me, but I never said I was going to be the weird, avant-garde guy.
Richard Linklater
I always think that I’m still this 13-year old boy that doesn’t really know how to be an adult, pretending to live my life, taking notes for when I’ll really have to do it.
Richard Linklater
It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
Richard Linklater
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
Richard Linklater
There are so many great artists, I think, who kind of suffer from being icons, legends, acknowledged masters.
Richard Linklater
Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.
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
In a sea of stories, find the right one to tell, and the right way to tell it.
Richard Linklater
I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.
Richard Linklater
I'd be fine if there weren't film festivals, and you just made your films and didn't have to do anything from that point on. That would be really great, wouldn't it? I don't know. I'm in kind of an aloof time, where I'm not taking anything too seriously.
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 think I got really lucky with Slacker. That was a film that probably shouldn't have been seen.
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
We all give ourselves a lot of leeway, but we want consistency from other people.
Richard Linklater
Monogamy, monotony. There's only a couple of letters...
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.
Richard Linklater
I've always been most interested in the politics of everyday life: your relation to whatever you're doing, or what your ambitions are, where you live, where you find yourself in the social hierarchy.
Richard Linklater
It's hard to see a film one time and really get it, and write fully and intelligently about it. That's a review. That's not film criticism.
Richard Linklater
The worst thing is that you used to be able to show interesting films on campuses. Those places are all gone.
Richard Linklater
When you're trying to get laid, everything's great, but once you've been with someone eight years and the future is not finite, you have time to sit and really examine every little thing that irritates you.
Richard Linklater
