Quotes: Ethan Coen — “Like any kind of writing, there are good days and frustrating days. But even frustrating days can be rewarding sometimes.” Joel Coen — “I’d be perfectly happy never to have to answer anything again about how I work with Ethan, or whether we have arguments, or… you know what I mean?”
