Richard Linklater's quotes

• Most of us are losers most of the time, if you think about it.
• [Terrence Malick] is a guy who sees his movies and thinks, "I would have done that differently". I see mine and say, "Given the circumstances, that's what I did and that's what I'd do again". I don't know how much of a free-will guy I am.
• But nothing is going to knock me off my game. Because I have some pretty low-budget films I want to do.
• I would have loved to have been a '40s studio director like Vincente Minnelli. You ended up with a real diverse career. Now you don't get a call from [Darryl F. Zanuck] saying, "Come do this movie on Monday". So you have to do it on your own.
• We all give ourselves a lot of leeway, but we want consistency from other people.
• My plan B has always been to make a film about people who talk a lot.
• [on Raging Bull (1980)] It made me see movies as a potential outlet for what I was thinking about and hoping to express. At that point, I was an unformed artist. At that moment, something was simmering in me, but "Raging Bull" brought it to a boil.
• We get a lot of cautionary tales about the dangers of getting exactly what you want in life. You know, if you take out the striving and the incompleteness, then where are you?

• The most unique property of cinema is how it lets you mold time, whether it's over a long or a very brief period.
• If cinema was a painting, time would be the paint itself.
