10. Bernie
Ατάκα: “In a small town, people will always suspect the worst of someone. But they’ll also suspect the best.”
9. Me and Orson Welles
Ατάκα: “The bone deep understanding that your life is so utterly without meaning that simply to survive you have to reinvent yourself. Because if people can’t find you, they can’t dislike you. You see if I can be Brutus for 90 minutes tonight; I mean really be him, from the inside out; then for 90 minutes I get this miraculous reprieve from being myself. That’s what you see in every great actor’s eyes, you know.”
8. A Scanner Darkly
Ατάκα: “What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me? Into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly because I can’t any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone’s sake the scanners do better, because if the scanner sees only darkly the way I do, then I’m cursed and cursed again.”
7. Slacker
Ατάκα: “And remember: the passion for destruction is also a creative passion.”
6. Dazed and Confused
Ατάκα: “Well, all I’m saying is that I want to look back and say that I did the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place… Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place.”
5. Before Midnight
Ατάκα: “I fucked up my whole life ‘cause of the way you sing.”
4. Waking Life
Ατάκα: “The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.
3. Boyhood
Ατάκα: “I know how everyone’s always saying seize the moment? I don’t know, I’m kind of thinking it’s the other way around, you know, like the moment seizes us.”
2. Before Sunrise
Ατάκα: “I believe if there’s any kind of God it wouldn’t be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there’s any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.”
1. Before Sunset
Ατάκα: “Even being alone it’s better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely.”
