A film is a terrible thing to waste.

No movie has ever been able to provide a catharsis for the Holocaust, and I suspect none will ever be able to provide one for 9/11. Such subjects overwhelm art.

A remarkable documentary that's also one of the most beautiful nature films I've seen.

Movies are like a machine that generates empathy.

It's easier to identify with loss than love, because we have had so much more experience of it.

We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.

We think of first love as sweet and valuable, a blessed if hazardous condition.
