Joel Coen

The question is: Where would it get you if something that's a little bit ambiguous in the movie is made clear? It doesn't get you anywhere.

I've never really understood that. It's a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable.

We create monsters and then we can't control them.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

You never get to pick how you get pinned and how people perceive you.
