More quotes by 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
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
It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
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.

I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.

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.

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
The truth will only be told over a career.
Richard Linklater
I think I got really lucky with Slacker. That was a film that probably shouldn't have been seen.
Richard Linklater
Monogamy, monotony. There's only a couple of letters...
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
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
People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.
Richard Linklater
There are so many great artists, I think, who kind of suffer from being icons, legends, acknowledged masters.
Richard Linklater
If we're all going to die, shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now?
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
Being alone is better than sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely.
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
Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.
