A whole lot of the way identity politics has gone seems to me to deny empathy.

A movement that seeks to advance only its own members is going to accomplish little

Marches work, rallies work, civil disobedience works, direct action works, voting works, writing letters works, speaking to churches and schools works, rioting works.

I don't even want to go to the Pride marches anymore. The politics have been removed almost entirely. They're just huge corporate showcases.

I believe we are entering into a period of political chaos. Out of that chaos is the potential for great evil, but there is also the possibility of great good.

This is a terrible time to be young, I think. It's really hard.

If I had to say what my one greatest achievement is, it's that I lasted, and I'm still happy. I hope that comes through.

People who say that violence doesn't accomplish anything have not read history. I don't celebrate that reality, but there you have it.

Any social movement that seeks to benefit only its own members I think is a shallow movement and probably doomed to failure.

Film really is a collaborative art.

I don't blame younger generations for their lack of awareness. Americans in general are not interested in history.

Life is figure out what you hope for, live inside that hope, but live right in it, under its roof

I am a superior form of human and I have absolutely no quirks or irrational impulses of any kind.

Traders and Surfers both have to deal with feelings of missing out on the small ones, until the big one comes along. They also have to deal with feelings of staying with the big one.

Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism.

At the end of the day, filmmaking is a sheer act of creative will. You have to be prepared to stick with your art no matter what comes your way.

I believed that our own public would keep this in mind even in this serious crisis, and stand firm if only we at the front continued to stand firm too.

I'd like to help out in any way I can, especially with the younger guys in the minor leagues. But as far as setting something up, we haven't really talked about it.

A wise ruler takes advice, but should never be seen to take it. Let them think you know more than you do. It will not harm them, and it will help you.

The situation is getting worse, and people are losing hope. That despair stokes violence.

I don't like surgery. I don't like elective surgery, I don't like surgery that you have to have.
