Ethan Coen's quotes

  • The movie people let us play in the corner of the sandbox and leave us alone. We're happy here.
  • The awards put a movie on people's radars. Festivals are good, even though the idea of putting movies in competitions -- this one is the best this, that one is the best that -- is ridiculous.
