Richard Linklater Art Quotations

There are so many great artists, I think, who kind of suffer from being icons, legends, acknowledged masters.

It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.

That's the history of art - you have to consider yourself fortunate if you ever get acknowledged. If you have a critical success that's also a financial success and that you feel good about... If things line up, that's pretty rare.

People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.

The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure, while always arriving.

I've always liked the minds of criminals, they seem similar to artists.
