Parker Posey Quotations

Time is weird in your twenties. It's intense, and you feel like it's running out. But you'll get to thirty and see you are still here on the planet.

The studios insisted that only stars could make movies successful. And that was the real disappointment of the time. You'd see great writer-directors in the '90s becoming part of a system where financiers and movie stars could change the material. I came along just before all that happened.

Pop songs now, they're about the aftermath of love.

You know, it's a really adult thing, for some people, to choose to not be with the one that you love.

In the '90s, indie movies could get financing, because financers gave money straight to directors... Now it's a different system. Indie movies got co-opted by the studio system.

It's overshadowed, the art. We're in a really argumentative, black-and-white-thinking culture right now. There's not a lot of time to take things in.

I like bears. I like bear people. I like bear-type men.

I haven't seen a bear in person. I've seen deer. I have lots of woodchucks on my property. And bluebirds. Foxes.

It felt really good to kind of find my voice and say stuff, and to be funny, hopefully.

I've done a lot of crafts in my day. I learned how to do pottery, yoga... and I just wanted to share and talk and write.
