"You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they're your weird creations in some kind of way."
— Joel Coen
You Love All Your Characters Even
You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they're your weird creations in some kind of way.
About this quote
Joel Coen has expressed this idea across multiple interviews about the Coen Brothers' filmmaking process. Because each character — however absurd or morally compromised — is written from the inside out, with a coherent inner logic, Coen argues that genuine creative affection is a prerequisite. The Coen Brothers' filmography is populated with characters who are foolish, venal, or violent, yet rendered with a specificity that feels like love.
