People talk about mumblecore but I prefer bumblecore, hyper-realistic bee movies about how bees really are.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress working together is success.

Henry Ford

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

Sir Laurence Olivier

Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamic of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problems and solutions sown are directly valid for all mankind

Joseph Campbell

Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.

Louis K. Anspacher

All movies aren't fun some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.

Samuel L. Jackson

Poetry involves the mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words.

Vladimir Nabokov

Jesus makes large claims for his heavenly father but never mentions that his mother is or was a virgin, and is repeatedly very rude and coarse to her when she makes an appearance.

Christopher Hitchens

Well, you know, too much democracy is a sort of sad thing.

Ann Richards

I read the script for Wonder Boys, and I said that was almost perfect, it was so classy, cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it, it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.

Robert Downey, Jr.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I love the shock factors and that Michelle is just OK with every aspect of herself, especially the sexual side.

Alyson Hannigan

The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.

Raymond Chandler
