I discovered early in my movie work that a movie is never any better than the stupidest man connected with it. There are times when this distinction may be given to the writer or director. Most often it belongs to the producer.

Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!

Milan Kundera

Unless you can find some sort of loyalty, you cannot find unity and peace in your active living.

Josiah Royce

To make our idea of morality center on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow-men a secret element of gusto.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.

Steve Sabol

I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

Laura Dern

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing.

Christopher Love

The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.

George Bernard Shaw

There are three arts which are concerned with all things; one which uses, another which makes, a third which imitates them

Plato

The world knows nothing of its greatest men.

Sir Henry Taylor

I don't like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.

Michelle Trachtenberg

A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.
