In these times of stress, snark, division and despair, I still suspect that two of the most important features we possess are imagination and a capacity for goodness. Those are qualities for which we will be remembered most fondly.

If humanity is being swallowed by a modern primitivism, imagination might be the thing that saves us all.

It's always healthy to be taken down a notch, even though it's humbling.

If you do the math, films featuring women are a good investment.

The brutality that can take place in a crime film heightens the tenderness that can also be there.

I often think about the many remarkable things that my personal computer can do which I never ask it to do. I probably use a small fraction of its capabilities. I often wonder if the same dynamic occurs with our capacity for creativity.

There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.
