“I think people are a mixture of everything. I like desperate characters because they do things that most of us normally wouldn't do. If a character is a scoundrel or a liar you think you know them, but then I can bring some emotion to them and they become much fuller than you ever imagined. So what I try to do is have a story where you don't quite know where it's going, and characters who you don't quite know where they're going.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsTryingI CanCharacterStoriesEmotionDesperateLiarsMixturesScoundrelsYou Think You Know Author:Richard Shepard
“I feel like you can have entertainment, and you can laugh, but during that period of time you can also think, and people should get upset. America is spending a lot of time and money pretending to be searching for people who we're not really searching for. That is enough to get someone angry.” PeopleThinkingFeelsShouldEnoughAmericaLaughingLike YouPeriodsAngryEntertainmentSpendingUpsetPretendingTime And Money Author:Richard Shepard
“So I like switching it up. I like that people are laughing but they don't even know if they should be laughing. I think that's interesting. I think it makes for a fun movie. And you're far more likely to be able to actually get something into someone's head if they don't quite see it coming, as opposed to delivering a very serious examination.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsShouldAbleFunInterestingLaughingSeriousExaminationDeliveringSwitchingFun Movie Author:Richard Shepard
