Alexander Payne Want Quotations

I never wanted money worries to slow me down or make me take a job I didn't want.

I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.

I don't want all of American cinema to be big cartoons that are just made to be digested by the entire world.

I want all of my films to belong to me.

In the moment of making films, I want to share my observations of life, not of other films.

I'm attracted to short screenplays. Nobody really wants a film to be over two hours, or at least I don't.
