"Ultimately, even though it's a cliche, you really have to just write for yourself."
— Joel Coen
Ultimately Even Though Its A Cliche
Ultimately, even though it's a cliche, you really have to just write for yourself.
About this quote
Joel Coen has expressed this view of writing for an audience of one in various interviews. It is a position the Coen Brothers have consistently held throughout their career: that decisions about tone, pace, and story should emerge from the filmmakers' own tastes rather than market research or anticipated audience reaction. Their commercial and critical success — including four Academy Awards for No Country for Old Men (2007) — has largely validated this approach.
