10 notable quotes by robert altman
- Men make clothes for the women they’d like to be with or in most cases the women they’d like to be.
- Maybe there’s a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.
- If you have a child who is seven feet tall, you don’t cut off his head or his legs. You buy him a bigger bed and hope he plays basketball.
- I want to see something that I’ve never seen before, so how can I tell that actor what that is? I’m not trying to construct a document or situation that is what I want, because what I want is something new to me.
- I’ll give you the same advice I give my children: Never take advice from anybody.
- I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don’t know what’s on the other end. Your imagination is under there.
- I don’t think screenplay writing is the same as writing – I mean, I think it’s blueprinting.
- Chance is another name that we give to our mistakes. And all of the best things in my films are mistakes.
- Making a movie is like chipping away at a stone. You take a piece off here, you take a piece off there and when you’re finished, you have a sculpture. You know that there’s something in there, but you’re not sure exactly what it is until you find it.
- I insist that they do what they became actors to do. I want them to create something and not just hit marks and say words. So they all love that because they’re playing. It’s called playacting. Their contributions are not only welcomed, but are accepted and used.
