Always Quote by Harmony Korine
“I always wanted the films to play in malls, and I wanted as many people as possible to see them. I never want them to be marginalized in the kind of rarefied, elitist world. I always have hopes that the films will permeate culture in a big way. A lot of times, I'm wrong, but it's always the hope.”

He came out, and except for one or two…” quote by Harmony Korine](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aef/harmony-korine-8808_actors_the-first-time-i-hung-out-with-david-bla_575406.jpg)
