Quotes by David Leitch

Quotes by David Leitch

Quotes by David Leitch

Quotes by David Leitch

Quotes by David Levering Lewis

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "More" page?
These are quotes about degree and comparison — someone admitting they have more confidence as a director than as a writer, a reflection on being "more like that" (exclusive, echo-chamber thinking) in their early twenties, and an appreciation for how horror films need a little more craft than people give them credit for.
Is this page about self-comparison?
Largely, yes — several of these quotes involve comparing one part of yourself to another, like confidence in one skill versus another, or how you've changed since your twenties. Me quotes covers similar self-reflective ground.
Is there a quote here about creative work?
Yes — the ones about directing versus writing, and about films like 'Friday the 13th' needing more craft than they get credit for, both touch on creative work and how it's judged.
How does "More" differ from <a href="/like-quotes">Like</a> quotes?
"Like" is about preference and similarity, while "More" is specifically about comparison and degree — doing something more than, or being more of, something else.
What if I want quotes about consistency instead of comparison?
Try Always quotes for that angle, or Life quotes for something broader.

Other lines touch on needing a little more of something, whether it's craft in filmmaking or personal growth over time. Continue with Like Quotes or Me Quotes.
