Education is the single most important job of the human race.

You have the most important job of anyone today. Our kids need you to advocate for their futures.

I'd like to see education play a larger role in our daily lives, have people come to a larger understanding - a "bigger picture" understanding - of how we fit into the world, and how we fit into the universe. Not necessarily thinking of ourselves, but thinking of others.

Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.

You don't see the struggle part of a person's life. You only see the success they have.

A film is sort of binary - it either works or it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.

Don't avoid the cliches - they are cliches because they work!
