Best 15 quotes of Brady Corbet on MyQuotes

Basically, if I ever went and worked on a crime drama or something, it was usually just for the work.

Everyone's different. I mean, some people write journals for their characters and stuff, but that was never really my area.

Fame is one of the potential hazards of this job, but I really just want to make movies. I want to be respected, sure. Who doesnt? But famous-famous? I just dont care about it. And if you genuinely dont give a damn about that stuff, you really are free.

Movies that I remember working on, or things that I remember working on, are things that took years of struggle and strife to get them off the ground or get them in front of the public. You don't have that kind of strife or whatever with a television show. It has an automatic platform. You go in, you do your job, and then it goes on air, and that's that.

Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.

Pretty much any time in my career where I worked on television it was usually because of some financial woes or something.
