Mike Mills Quotes

I pretty much believe that a film is a film and when an audience watches a film, they finish it Picture Quote #1

As someone who grew up in a house where there wasn’t a lot of talking, I’m used to just looking at the world. And in general I often feel like I just don’t understand what’s happening. That everybody else does, but I don’t quite get it Picture Quote #1

I don’t really believe that documentary is objective reality and fiction is all illusion Picture Quote #1

Humans are vulnerable, messy little animals and that’s normal. And all I want to do is make a space for that in my films Picture Quote #1

Film is endlessly just beyond your reach. I think that’s what I love so much about it Picture Quote #1

To me, sadness and humor aren’t disrelated and humor is the best tool I’ve had against the sadness in my life Picture Quote #1

Sadness is a super important thing not to be ashamed about but to include in our lives. One of the bigger problems with sadness or depression is there’s so much shame around it. If you have it you’re a failure. You are felt as being very unattractive Picture Quote #1

I would hate to think I’m promoting sadness as an aesthetic. But I grew up in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you’re taught to feel shame about. You end up chronically desiring what can be a very sentimental idea of love and connection. A lot of my work has been about trying to make a space for sadness Picture Quote #1

Grief and memory go together. After someone dies, that’s what you’re left with. And the memories are so slippery yet so rich Picture Quote #1
