Joel Coen Quotes
Barton Fink got written very quickly, in about three weeks. I dont know what that means. - Joel Coen Quotes
Billy Bob and Fran are very well known actors, but arent the kind of movie stars in the sense that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are. - Joel Coen Quotes
I always admired Stanley Kubrick for the fact that he managed to beat the system somehow. I think he kind of had it all figured out. - Joel Coen Quotes
I couldnt have been happier with the relationship we had with Disney, it couldnt have been easier. - Joel Coen Quotes
I guess it beats throwing trash for a living. - Joel Coen Quotes
I guess theres a certain amount of poking fun at certain characters, but thats because there is something amusing about them or about the way they behave, so I guess you can say that thats poking fun at the character. But the character is your own invention, so who cares? - Joel Coen Quotes
Id be perfectly happy never to have to answer anything again about how I work with Ethan, or whether we have arguments, or... you know what I mean? Ive been answering those questions for 20 years. I suppose its interesting to people. - Joel Coen Quotes
Ive never really understood that. Its a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable. - Joel Coen Quotes
If the material is challenging, it forces you to challenge yourself when handling it. - Joel Coen Quotes
Its a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. Thats sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesnt happen to me. - Joel Coen Quotes
Its almost like a genre rule: Dont Open The Box. - Joel Coen Quotes
Maybe our telling of the story wasnt as clear as it should have been, but I dont think thats true. In terms of understanding the story, it comes across. - Joel Coen Quotes
Maybe there should be less of a mystique around making movies. I just dont think that theres any real mystery there. - Joel Coen Quotes
No, we dont have an obsession with kidnapping. We just follow the story wherever it leads us, and if it leads us to kidnapping, well there we are! - Joel Coen Quotes
Other kinds of movie stars, its a different thing, they bring their persona to the part and thats what people like to see, and they are not really transforming in terms of their character. - Joel Coen Quotes
People that have been interested in our work for awhile... those are the last people you want to disappoint. - Joel Coen Quotes
Some people come out going, I dont get it. And I dont quite know what theyre trying to get, what theyre struggling for. We have had the reaction where people leave the movie sort of uncomfortable and befuddled. Although that wasnt our intention. - Joel Coen Quotes
The architecture of a story can be a little bit different if its a true story. - Joel Coen Quotes
The characters are the result of two things-first, we elaborate them into fairly well-defined people through their dialogue, then they happen all over again, when the actor interprets them. - Joel Coen Quotes
The point at which we worked with some of these actors, they werent really stars yet. Nicolas Cage was not a big star when we did Raising Arizona. A lot of these people were also virtually unknown, too, when we worked with them first. - Joel Coen Quotes
The question is: Where would it get you if something thats a little bit ambiguous in the movie is made clear? It doesnt get you anywhere. - Joel Coen Quotes

When we do a movie with the studios, they wouldnt be asking us to do it, I dont think, if it was a movie they wanted to get into themselves. What you see is what you get with us, so they let us do what we want to do. - Joel Coen Quotes
When you do a writing job for a studio, one of the things you want to do is satisfy the expectations of your employer. Thats a little bit different than when you sit down and write something to satisfy yourself, because then youre the employer. - Joel Coen Quotes

You see a moral in them? Do we have morals? - Joel Coen Quotes
