I don’t make movies for the same reason that a lot of people do. I make films because I need to see them exist in a very specific way. Harmony Korine Read Quote
I always wanted the films to play in malls, and I wanted as many people as possible to see them. I never want them to be marginalized in the kind of rarefied, elitist world. I always have hopes that the films will permeate culture in a big way. A lot of times, I’m wrong, but it’s always the hope. Harmony Korine Read Quote
I never really feel wrong while making movies. I know myself, and I know that my intentions are pure and I’m on the side of righteousness. Harmony Korine Read Quote
Ever since I was little, I would just make stories up in my mind. It was based on people I saw in the street or someone I would talk to, or I would hear a specific voice. Harmony Korine Read Quote
I tried working odd jobs that had nothing to do with creating, and it was difficult for me. In the end, I just always loved movies. When I’m making a film, I feel most alive, like I’m doing the right thing, and I’m in the place where I need to be. Harmony Korine Read Quote
I never cared about making one coherent masterpiece with a conventional narrative. I always wanted my movies to have images falling from all directions in a vaudevillian way. If you didn’t like what was happening in one scene, you could just snooze through it until the next scene. Harmony Korine Read Quote
I do have friends who make movies, but for the most part, I never really wanted to feel like I was part of an industry. Harmony Korine Read Quote
When I’m directing films, I mostly try to create an environment on set that mimics what’s in my mind as to the tone and feel of things. I try to create a place where you feel that anything’s possible. Harmony Korine Read Quote
Rap is the only interesting music left – it’s the only genre that’s still pushing itself, and experimenting in a way that I find exciting. Harmony Korine Read Quote
