More From Susan Sontag

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

I see the gap ads as being a great example of how branding has changed. those gap campaigns are pop culture. they've been incredibly powerful. they have had the kind of effect on culture that a hit band has. just look at the gap's khaki swing ads, which were music videos. they had this tremendous impact on the industry - suddenly everything started looking like gap ads and it became difficult to know who was co-opting whom and who was creating culture.

To me the question right now is: how do i close that first three-quarters of the achievement gap, education gap, wealth gap? what gives me the best chance to do that? and i'm pretty darn sure that if america is a just society and treating people well right now, irrespective of past wrongs, that i'm going to close a big chunk of that gap. i've seen it.

Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free," jefferson said, "expects what never was and never will be." and if the gap between the educated and the uneducated in america continues to grow as it is in our time, as fast as or faster than the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between the educated and the uneducated is going to be of greater consequence and the more serious threat to our way of life. we must not, by any means, misunderstand that.

God wants a love partner, centering on the place where husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, god wants to appear and meet us...i wish you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ and use this as your foundation to pursue god...we have to realize that the kingdom of god on earth and in heaven will begin on this foundation.

Does that mean that all vestiges of past discrimination would be eliminated, that the income gap or the wealth gap or the education gap [between afro-americans and white] would be erased in five years or 10 years? probably not, and so this is obviously a discussion we've had before when you talk about something like reparations.

You know, i find it very strange when movies that i made that were just excoriated - i mean that i was just vilified for - are now looked at as classics.

The script [of regression] wasn't the draw for me. it was largely alejandro [amenabar] and his way of talking. to hear him talking about the script was way more interesting than the script. he wrote it, and so, english is his second language. it's an interesting thing. i've had that before. i was directed by alfonso cuarón before, too. it's always interesting when you're being directed by somebody like that. so much of directing is about communication, and finding the right words, and what it means, and how to convey certain emotions and ideas.
