Joe Russo Quotes

American - Director | 1971 -

There's nothing I hate more than going to see a movie and thinking, 'That could have been an hour shorter.'

Hate Thinking Nothing More See Been

We like layers of character and personality in our storytelling. We like very distinctive, unique personalities interacting with each other.

Character Personality Think Better

War You Never Complex Film Infinity

What we do is service a story first, and then you figure out how to pay for it later. If the narrative isn't your primary focus, then the movie is going to become diluted, and you don't have a movie that is as good as it could be, so it probably won't make as much money.

Good Service Money Focus Story You

I've seen 'Goodfellas' a hundred times, and one of the things that I take away from that movie is dynamic pacing and energy. I just think that film is sort of a paragon of excellence in filmmaking and the compression of narrative.

Excellence Energy Think Filmmaking

My feeling is that it's important that you show kids reality.

Reality You Feeling Important Kids
