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
The worst thing is that you used to be able to show interesting films on campuses. Those places are all gone.
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 truth will only be told over a career.
Richard Linklater
Monogamy, monotony. There's only a couple of letters...
Richard Linklater
We all give ourselves a lot of leeway, but we want consistency from other people.
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
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
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
