Suicides aren't heroic in my opinion. And I don't think anybody ever really knows why somebody commits suicide.

What a terrible world it would be if we only did films that were poster boards for political causes.

Bill Gates, who is the classic computer nerd, as opposed to Steve who is, like the coolest guy in the world. And who is really doing things to make the world a better place?

The sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church is the result of what police call "noble cause corruption," the belief that because you are dedicated to doing good, you can do no wrong.

I think one of things that Steve Jobs, in his own funny way, encouraged us to remember with those "Think different" posters of Gandhi and Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King was, "How do you make the world a better place?"

The stuff about film being a collaborative medium is no joke.

I feel that Julian Assange came to be both paranoid and self-regarding in ways that ultimately undermined his own mission.
