Robert Altman Quotes

If George W. Bush is elected president, I’m leaving for France Picture Quote #1
If George W. Bush is elected president, I’m leaving for France Picture Quote #1
I was a heavy drinker, but the alcohol affected my heart rather than my liver. So I stopped. I smoke grass now. I say that to everybody, because marijuana should be legalized. It’s ridiculous that it isn’t. If at the end of the day I feel like smoking a joint I do it. It changes the perception of what I’ve been through all day Picture Quote #1
I was scared that no one would hire me. At that time, there was still a stigma attached to it. A big stigma. Actually, I think I was healthier after the operation than some people who have bypass surgery because I was completely cured. But when you mentioned heart transplant, you got a very negative reaction. It triggered people’s imaginations, and not in a good way Picture Quote #1
It’s all just one film to me. Just different chapters Picture Quote #1
Happy endings are absolutely ludicrous, they’re not true at all. We see the guy carry the girl across the threshold and everybody lives happily ever after -- that’s bullshit. Three weeks later he’s beating her up and she’s suing for divorce and he’s got cancer Picture Quote #1

What’s a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority Picture Quote #1
To play it safe is not to play Picture Quote #1
Maybe there’s a chance to get back to grown - up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people Picture Quote #1
You will never see’Altman’s Great Film of the Seventies: The Director’s Cut’ because you have never seen a film of mine that wasn’t the director’s cut. I have never permitted it Picture Quote #1
I’ve had it-the agencies, the winking, the networks, the ratings. Anyone who thinks TV is an art medium is crazy-it’s an advertising medium Picture Quote #1
Jazz has endured because it doesn’t have a beginning or an ending. It’s a moment Picture Quote #1

Making a movie is like chipping away at a stone. You take a piece off here, you take a piece off there and when you’re finished, you have a sculpture. You know that there’s something in there, but you’re not sure exactly what it is until you find it Picture Quote #1
I’ve worked with Robert Altman a couple of times too Picture Quote #1
I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there Picture Quote #1
If you don’t have a leg to stand on, you can’t put your foot down Picture Quote #1
Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes Picture Quote #1
Men make clothes for the women they’d like to be with or in most cases the women they’d like to be Picture Quote #1

Robert Altman’s ‘Nashville’ is my all - time favorite film because it covers all the bases - it’s original, moving, and has something to say, but also funny and incredibly entertaining Picture Quote #1
