More From Alexander Payne
- "When you’re a houseguest and you leave, it’s nice to straighten something up or send your hosts a useful gift. And when you leave the planet, it’s nice to have made a positive contribution."
- "You just never know when you’re living in a golden age."
- "The novel succeeds on terms exclusive to literature. A good film succeeds on terms exclusive to the cinema. That’s why so many bad novels can become good movies, like ‘Jaws’ or ‘The Godfather.’"
More In Movies
- "Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another world, so that when you meet them on the screen they don’t seem like the guy who was in two others movies that year."― Danny Boyle
- "I don’t make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them."― Jerry Bruckheimer
- "Well, getting behind the camera is something I’ve always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like ‘Zathura’ I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge."― Josh Hutcherson
