Joel Coen
"I guess there's a certain amount of poking fun at certain characters, but that's because there is something amusing about them or about the way they behave, so I guess you can say that that's poking fun at the character. But the character is your own invention, so who cares?"

Character

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"If the material is challenging, it forces you to challenge yourself when handling it."

Challenge

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"When you do a writing job for a studio, one of the things you want to do is satisfy the expectations of your employer. That's a little bit different than when you sit down and write something to satisfy yourself, because then you're the employer."

Expectation

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they're your weird creations in some kind of way. I don't even know how you approach the process of conceiving the characters if in a sense you hated them. It's just absurd."

Love

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"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."

Fun

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"I think when you watch the dailies, the film that you shoot every day, you're very excited by it and very optimistic about how it's going to work."

Work

Quote_1.png
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."

Question

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"I couldn't have been happier with the relationship we had with Disney, it couldn't have been easier."

Disney

Joel Coen
"Maybe our telling of the story wasn't as clear as it should have been, but I don't think that's true. In terms of understanding the story, it comes across."

Story

Quote_1.png
Joel Coen
"You're doing it to make the character as specific as possible, so that it's a specific individual that you're talking about, not that whole class of people."
