We get older, and we get more wrinkles, but fundamentally, we stay the same… You have the same fears and doubts and concerns and dreams and passions and all those kinds of things, so I feel like you don’t change as much as you think you do. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
I think it’s always interesting to me how we keep secrets from the ones we love the most. You could be so close to someone, but still there was something you can’t express, you can’t tell them, because it’s almost too painful and too hard for you to articulate yourself, because you don’t fully understand it. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
Being gay, you’re kind of forced to ask, I suppose, very existential questions from a very, very early age. Your identity becomes so important to you because you’re trying to understand it, and, I think, from the age of, like, 9, you’re being forced to ask questions… that other kids maybe don’t have to ask.

You can’t expect to connect with everybody, and that’s all right. The more I make films, I’m learning that you don’t have to make films for everybody. A film can be made for a smaller group of people than that, and it still warrants an existence. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
In the early stages of being out, you meet all these people from all kinds of backgrounds, and the one thing you have in common is you’re all gay, but then you start to realise how different your experiences actually are. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
That’s the biggest thing I struggle with. We could never hope to represent every gay person in America. There will be people who will say, ‘Well, my experience of being gay isn’t like that,’ to which I can only say, ‘That’s fine.’ Andrew Haigh Read Quote
I’ve traveled a fair amount around the country and visited many states. It’s amazing that Oregon is so different from Idaho; even though Portland isn’t that far from Boise, it’s a completely different city. Colorado is very different from Oregon. From a European perspective, I’ve always found that fascinating about America. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
I feel like, throughout lots of my life, especially growing up, I felt powerless. Andrew Haigh Read Quote
