Quote by Bennett Miller

“The main thing is the character's [Truman Capote's] interior and without getting too deep into it, there are lots of parallels in Phil's [Philip Seymour Hoffman's] life, which I knew and only became more evident with time. There was something about that character that he could own that nobody else could.”

“I know it's become fashionable to depict the police as sadistic Cossacks riding down innocent citizens, but I've become well enough acquainted with law-enforcement agencies across the country to know that's just not the case. Of course, a certain small percentage of policemen are irresponsible...but that doesn't justify the current unjust barrage of propaganda against a tribe of men who are hard-working, underpaid and daily risking their lives to protect us. I'm sure there are isolated instances of police brutality, but the rising crime rate and urban violence constitute a far, far more pressing problem.”

“Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria, el hombre que puso a finales de los ochenta y principio de los noventa la institucionalidad del Estado colombiano contra la pared, asesinando sin contemplación a todo aquel que se le opusiera, se definió en su juventud como un ciudadano de izquierda. No hay duda de que en este sentido fue coherente con su posición, pues un hombre que venía de abajo, que vivió en carne propia la desigualdad enorme que divide profundamente a un 80% de los colombianos que no tiene nada y un 20% que lo tiene todo, no tenía razones para defender a esa minoría privilegiada que había dirigido los destinos del país desde mucho antes de la independencia.”

“The unconventional is dangerous at times, but we must...splash our personal canvasses with bold strokes and daring colors and give no thought to what the finished work may look like. It will somehow self-organize into a more worthy piece than can be constructed by the deliberate planning so common with the way life is lived today by most of our fellow humans.”
