“I'm not saying that being gay is what defines me, but at the same time...” — Alan Ball Quote

“I'm not saying that being gay is what defines me, but at the same time, if you feel like you have to hide it, then it becomes what defines you. You keep it hidden, and the secret becomes you.”

“I am a little suspicious of industry paradigms. I feel like so many movies and TV shows feel so familiar because of over-reliance on these paradigms.”

“If a scene is longer than three pages, it better be for a good reason.”

“The real leader redefines or defines the mission in a very powerful way so that people understand it; it permeates the organization.”

“I've had some movies that have been ridiculed, but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular?”

“The fact is, there's no single magic number that defines profitability for a game.”
