Hal Hartley's quotes

  • The budget is the aesthetic.
  • 'Indie' has been used to describe so many things it's become meaningless. I work the way I work probably because of my personality. I like making a lot of work without a lot of fanfare, and I like to experiment.
  • It was the Werner Herzog of 1977 that got me into filmmaking. Then as time went on I discovered Robert Altman, Allan Rudolf, Wim Wenders, Godard, etc. Many others. But for the most part, they were not corporately manufactured entertainment.
  • I hum tunes to myself while I walk. This is why I don't have a driver's license. Walking is a big part of my creative work. And I once got into a car accident because I was thinking about music.
  • I think there is such a thing as an independent audience, and this is more important even than independent filmmakers.
  • My writing and filmmaking provided a platform for a group of us to begin our careers. We all would have begun our careers anyway, but we might not have had as much fun.
  • Flirt is some of the best work I've ever done. It sort of ruined my career.
