Ron Howard’s 5 most popular quotes
- One of the great things about being a director as a life choice is that it can never be mastered. Every story is its own kind of expedition, with its own set of challenges.
- I think it’s in our nature to try to get beyond that next horizon. I think that when we as a species are scratching that itch we’re actually following an evolutionary compulsion that is wired into us. I think good things come of it. That’s the philosophical side.
- Humor is unavoidable. It might not feel funny in the moment, but more often than not there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
- If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I’d choose the directing job.
- I think the most important thing really was that you could take very personal ideas and present them to an audience in entertaining ways.
