IF YOU PRETEND THE CHARACTERS CANT SPEAK, AND WRITE A SILENT MOVIE, YOU WILL BE WRITING GREAT DRAMA.

The Oscars demonstrate the will of the people to control and judge those they have elected to stand above them (much, perhaps, as in bygone days, an election celebrated the same).

The true writer must write not the acceptable but the true.

The Israelis would like to live in peace within their borders; the Arabs would like to kill them all.

Luck, if there is such a thing, is either going to favor everyone equally or going to exhibit a preference for the prepared.

Art and mass entertainment and propaganda, they can all be plotted on the same graph, but there is a difference.
