Quotes by Alexander Payne

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a quote here about a musical foundation people "live and die by"?
Yes — one describes it this way: "that's what we live and die by, because if you build up from that foundation, it's going to be strong." It uses "die" figuratively, to express deep commitment to a creative process. For more on the more literal side of the word, see Death quotes.
What's this "Opus Die" reference about?
One speaker mentions it as a pop-culture reference point: "I didn't know anything about Opus Die except from pop culture, like Dan Brown novels, which I knew wasn't really knowing anything about Opus Die." It's presented here exactly as the speaker said it — a comment on how fiction can shape, and limit, what people think they know about something.
Is there a quote about wanting to keep doing something until the end?
Yes — a passionate one: "I feel the ticking clock. And at times, I've said if I don't dance, I'd rather die." It shows how deeply tied to their craft the speaker feels, treating it as essential to who they are. For more quotes about urgency and time running out, browse Dying quotes.
Is there a quote about personal identity here?
Yes — one speaker states their own political identity plainly: "I was leftwing, I am leftwing, and I will die leftwing." It's presented here simply as the speaker's own self-described stance, without any added commentary. For related quotes about steadfastness over time, see Died quotes.
What's the common thread across these "die" quotes?
Each uses "die" to express intensity — commitment to craft, curiosity about a cultural reference, urgency about time, and firmness of identity — rather than being literally about death. For more, check out Dies quotes.

Others get more personal, from a dancer who says they'd rather not go on if they couldn't dance, to someone stating a lifelong political identity they don't expect to abandon. Continue with Dying quotes or Died quotes.
