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.

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

I think I got really lucky with Slacker. That was a film that probably shouldn't have been seen.
Richard Linklater
Image
Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
Richard Linklater
Image
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.

If we're all going to die, shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now?
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
Image
The worst thing is that you used to be able to show interesting films on campuses. Those places are all gone.

People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.

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.
