A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: they just go to action pictures, and things like that. but if you go to foreign films, if you go to documentaries, if you go to independent films, if you go to good films, you will become a better person because you will understand human nature better. movies record human nature in a better way than any other art form, that's for sure.

One of the consequences of if the affordable care act is repealed, is that all of us now are at risk of being a preexisting - of having a preexisting condition waiting to happen. life, increasingly, is a preexisting condition waiting to happen, now that we have more and more of this data available.

I love movies; i grew up loving movies. i've always loved movies. i never thought about making movies until i took art classes and then i started studying different artists. as you study paintings, you see light and shadow, of course - rembrandt, eugène delacroix. you start to understand the relationship between people and art, and images. for me, between movies that i watched and art, it was like, i'd love to make moving art. moving pictures.

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.

One of the best things i ever did was to train in a practical skill. i love computers and they've become such a part of life, especially to the world of design. but it's important to understand that they are a tool, as much as a hammer or a saw is a tool. computers don't help you design. there needs to be more emphasis on training young designers in how to build things. a good writer needs a good vocabulary. a good designer needs to understand his materials and processes. you can't, as a successful designer, pretend to get any respect if you don't know how things are made.
