Movies are - all I've found is that they're just tougher and tougher to make.

I wanted to tell a story that interested me as much in the telling as in the watching.

I see bits and pieces of me in all the characters in my films.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.

I will say that the idea of a woman being deceptive came from that original discussion with critics and reporters about if woman could do that kind of thing. Evelyn, herself, grew out of the discussions about how capable women are of deceit and lying and manipulation.

My best male friend is my best friend until he crosses me. We're all protective of the self.

I think Christine and Chad are on the opposite extremes of the spectrum. Christine is a model victim, and Chad is a model perpetrator, and Howard is closer to the middle.

If we put the camera on ourselves, our friends and neighbors, we'll come up with some scary stuff.

Everybody has the ability to be manipulative, to be hateful and deceitful.

I wanted to make these people...

I wanted to make these people real, not like they were in a painting. Like these are people who don't know they're in a period movie. Those concerns are incredibly immediate.

Relationships in general make people a bit nervous. It's about trust. Do I trust you enough to go there?

You start as an audience member and create a world you're interested in, and then you move into the telling of those stories, bringing what has interested you as an audience member.

People think my work is therapeutic. I don't see it that way. It's not like I'm saving money from a weekly therapy visit by writing down my life.

There is a lot of absurdity sometimes, not just in Mormonism but often in other religions that want to pretend that no bad happens in their church, rather than taking care of what bad does happen.

We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.

Neil Labute 76 quotes

I was always looking for the ...

I was always looking for the most dramatic emphasis. One example would be the letter writing, or the reading of the letters. If you remember from the book, they find the letters and then in the most undramatic way they take them downstairs, they get approval, they sit at a table during the day with their own author, across from each other.

There were certain things that I watched, and I screened a series of period films as well, not because I wanted to copy those, because I wanted to be different. “Far from the Madding Crowd” was one I looked to because I thought it looked so good. “Doctor Zhivago.” Unrequited love is always a great thing. “Tess” was something I looked at, I thought Polanski got the period right.

Sitting in an automobile was where I first remember understanding how drama works ... Hidden in the back seat of a sedan, I quickly realized how deep the chasm or intense the claustrophobia could be inside your average family car.

Neil Labute 76 quotes

I felt, if I'm going to take on some of the most overdone material, which is men and women and affairs and betrayal of friends, I had better have a new take on it. I think my films come from a desperation not to be boring.

The future is now. It's time to grow up and be strong. Tomorrow may well be too late.
