Paul Haggis Thinking Quotations

I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.

I just love actors, and I've always loved actors. I empathize with their job. Everyone thinks it's easy, and it ain't. To be that vulnerable and brave on camera is tough.

I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.

We think we know what's right. With excessive pride comes blindness.

As soon as you think you know Clint Eastwood, you don't know Clint Eastwood.

It takes me awhile to find something that I'm passionate about. I'm reading a lot and thinking a lot, and torturing myself a lot because I'm feeling really guilty for not writing something today.

I don't think writers should write about answers. I think writers should write about questions.
