Bob Odenkirk
I don't care about movies. I tend to play badminton once a week.
Edward Witten
I don't know that much about who directs what movies, but I'm definitely inspired by the look of old movies; I find them to be really beautiful.

This is the age of insincerity. The movies had the misfortune to come along in the twentieth century, and because they appeal to the masses there can be no sincerity in them.

We don't make movies for critics, since they don't pay to see them anyhow.
