Jason ReitmanThese were always obsessions of mine, even as a very young child. These were things that interested me as the years went on.

Woody AllenOur young people are diseased with the theological problems of original sin, origin of evil, predestination, and the like. These never presented a practical difficulty to any man,--never darkened across any man's road, who did not go out of his way to seek them.

But other times, the formula is almost purely one of context. And yet other times, of sheer precision of meaning.

Tom HoltThere's this sense of being strange, which is at the heart of every creative person. Every writer, every actor, every director knows who Ripley is. We've made careers and lives out of pretending, making things up, inhabiting other people's stories and lives. That's what I do every day. . . .

Someone asked her once how she did it, and she said you have to "get so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid."

Emma StoneWhole ideology of consumption almost to the point of religion. Whether it's the consumption of entertainment or the consumption around buying things, we're so caught up with our appetites that we don't have a clear distinction about what we need and what we just want.
