It is so easy to lose your way, to lose direction. And thatโs with following all the signposts

Martin AmisI think the most important CEO task is defining the course that the business will take over the next five or so years.

And I felt that way for an hour and 10 minutes.

Denise LinnI knew that the black struggle wasn't my struggle. But I felt like it was my-struggle-adjacent, you know? I've always said that if you turn the dial in one direction, a Muslim is a Jew is an East Asian person is a Native American and so on. I feel very much that all of these struggles are kind of the same and - Hillary Clinton actually said this recently - when you get rid of one barrier, it opens up the gates for a whole bunch of people you didn't even know would benefit from it. So not fighting for the black struggle is like not fighting for the Muslim struggle.

Eric HofferPersonally I am very pessimistic. But when, for instance, one of my staff has a baby you can't help but bless them for a good future.

So with those conflicting thoughts in mind, I think about what kind of films I should be making.
