Neil LaBute People Quotations

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.

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

People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape.

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.

I think people are capable of everything I've written. Would they ever do it? I don't know and really don't care, because that's not my business.

It's just often more interesting to write about one or more people who are being awful to other people because it makes for exciting, dramatic fare.

But for me, it feels like a natural extension of what I've been doing: exploring relationships. Here you have two relationships and we can explore how difficult it is for people to be together.
