“I want all of my films to belong to me.” — Alexander Payne Quote

“I want all of my films to belong to me.”

“I'm hoping one day I can make one really good film.”

“I don't think so much about verbal comedy. I always think about visual comedy. I was raised watching silents, and I'm always thinking about how to make cinema, not good talking - although I want good talking. I'm much more interested in framing, composition, and orchestration of bodies in space, and so forth.”

“I belong on the stage. I love how the day's events, whatever you read in the newspapers or watch on the TV, are reflected in the performance and how it's received.”

“I had taken on the color of the climate around me and had driven back all the emotion that rose from the Brooklyn streets so that I could belong to the exclusive club of Congress.”

“It's sad that we vote for and elect officials to run our state, run our country, over social issues. I don't believe they belong in politics.”
