Quotes by Nicole Holofcener

Nicole Holofcener

But then male directors also have a hard time getting their movies made… not as hard as women but it’s a tough time for any movie this size. And that particular movie [The Hurt Locker] was so specific. It couldn’t hurt, of course, and I’m really glad for her, but I don’t know how much it will change things, if at all. The film industry is still so sexist.

I definitely feel like a native New Yorker. My personality was formed there.

I do think things like old furniture and art are arbitrarily assigned. And I say that coming from an uneducated place in terms of, you know… art… curating. But who’s to say what’s valuable and what’s not? I guess I feel like in the end it’s all pretty meaningless ’cause we’re all going to die.

I don’t know where my next movie is going to get financed or if it will. I think every filmmaker is probably worried about that, unless their movie made a fortune. My movies make a profit, but obviously not a fortune. So yeah, it’s scary.

I guess I always knew going into the movie that casting that part would be difficult. Oliver just felt likeable. I felt it would be hard to dislike this man. I don’t know why, but I’m sure other directors have felt the same when casting him. Oliver is goofy yet formidable, smart but likeable… I didn’t want the character of Alex to be nasty or demonised. I wanted him to be struggling with his actions.

I have a boundary problem… I need to know when to give and when to back up. I’ll help someone across the street and then into their homes and they’ll start telling me all their problems… and it turns out they’re insane and want to kill me. I’ve got to know when to stop!
