51 Quotes by Anthony Russo

The thing I always loved about the movie business is it is really a cowboy industry in the sense that there's no prescribed road into it or through it.

The one thing you know we won't do is, literally, 'Modern Warfare 2.'

'Community' gets to be the indie movie, while a 'Modern Family' gets to be the big blockbuster release. They service that big massive audience, and we service a smaller audience. But we get a lot of creative freedom.

Marvel is never more happy than when filmmakers start doing things they didn't expect. That's when they know they're in a good place.

The thing I always laugh about is we tried for years to make successful television. And at the end of the day, we never had a show run as long as our run at Marvel.

I think that's part of the fun for us: we love looking at movies through the filter of a specific character - characters who aren't the lead - and figuring out the film from their point of view.
