John Sayles's quotes
- [on making Baby It's You (1983)] I got the cut I wanted, but I was thrown out of the editing room.
- Oh, I've always felt like I was on the margins. Once upon a time that's what independent used to mean.
- I always feel that there are no final victories and no final defeats. But it's true that America is in a hole right now. There are a lot of dead fish in the water.
- Being a screenwriter is a good job. I can make a good amount of money to put back into my own films.
- The scariest movie I ever saw was John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) with special effects by Rob Bottin. The theater was full, and I had to sit in the front row.
- [1983 interview] The things I write and direct are things I'm not going to see unless I do them.
- [on The Brother from Another Planet (1984)] I couldn't afford to hire a production manager, a first assistant director, and a second assistant director. Their minimums would have been high enough to make up a third of my budget.
