Richard Linklater
People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.
Richard Linklater
Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.

It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
Richard Linklater
I've always liked the minds of criminals, they seem similar to artists.
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
Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
