More From Steven Soderbergh

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
It must be stressed that there is nothing insulting about looking at people as animals. we are animals, after all. homo sapiens is a species of primate, a biological phenomenon dominated by biological rules, like any other species. human nature is no more than one particular kind of animal nature. agreed, the human species is an extraordinary animal; but all other species are also extraordinary animals, each in their own way, and the scientific man-watcher can bring many fresh insights to the study of human affairs if he can retain this basic attitude of evolutionary humility.

The desire for story is very, very deep in human beings. we are the only creature in the world that does this; we are the only creature that tells stories, and sometimes those are true stories and sometimes those are made up stories. then there are the larger stories, the grand narratives that we live in, which are things like nation and family and clan and so on. those stories are considered to be treated reverentially. they need to be part of the way in which we conduct the discourse of our lives and to prevent people from doing something very damaging to human nature.

Needs Stories True Story
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
My aim is to advocate that we make this mental switch in respect of our attitudes and practices towards a very large group of beings: members of species other than our own - or, as we popularly though misleadingly call them, animals. in other words, i am urging that we extend to other species the basic principle of equality that most of us recognize should be extended to all members of our own species.

I'm deeply grateful to live and work in this country and to the united states for opening its arms to me the way it has. i mean i think my attitude as an aussie coming here - i've been coming here for a while now, i've been coming here for about 12 or 13 years - is that this country has afforded me and my family work and security. for that, i'm forever grateful.
