Richard Linklater
We all give ourselves a lot of leeway, but we want consistency from other people.
Richard Linklater
I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.
Richard Linklater
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
Richard Linklater
I think I got really lucky with Slacker. That was a film that probably shouldn't have been seen.
Richard Linklater

I've always liked the minds of criminals, they seem similar to artists.
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
Your friends are really an extension of your vision of the world. It's kind of a physical manifestation of how you feel. Like your soul.
Richard Linklater
