- Change theme
Quotes by Alexander Payne
- I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.
- I get asked, 'How can you have such failures in your films?' Well, what else is life about? There's some sense of constant failure in something. Humor gives you a distance from it.
- I guess maybe I try to make movies that are closer to real life than are many Hollywood movies. But I still try to stay within a commercial narrative, a contemporary American vernacular.
- I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.
