Todd Solondz's quotes
- In American films, this period of life is not treated seriously. You have either the cute and cuddly Disney kid or the evil devil monster. For me it's fertile territory - middle class kids growing up in the suburbs.
- There's good laughter and bad laughter. As long as they're not laughing at the expense of any of these characters, it's OK. My films are comedies, but they're sad comedies and this is the saddest of all.
- Some people will of course accuse me of misanthropy and cynicism. I can't celebrate humanity but I'm not out to indict it either. I just want to expose certain truths.
- I'm just unfortunate that I have this job I hate, I suppose. I keep thinking I've got to find a new career and maybe I will. But for now, this is all I've got. I haven't found a good alternative yet.
- Even talking about the nature of this war, and Iraq and the Middle East, it's very difficult even to have a conversation. Anything that veers away from the official line, there's a hysteria that pops in.
- My movies aren't for everyone, especially people who like them.
- One of the lessons that I tell my students is: You want to make a film only YOU could make, but NOT only you can sit through.
- [on Wiener-Dog (2016)] On one end of the spectrum is Au hasard Balthazar (1966) and on the other is Benji (1974). In between the two this movie lies. [2016]
- [on Wiener-Dog (2016)] I teach Monday mornings. I love it. I have a great time. I love teaching the students, working with them. They're like little puzzles. Trying to help them figure out their own solutions. [2016]
