I just have to be able to follow and enjoy the writer's voice and the writer's point of view. Liking what the person has to say is not really important to me.

Most Pixar films are better than most live action films.

Poor decisions and bad luck are contingencies of most horror films.

Sometimes a movie knows you're watching it. It knows how to hold and keep you, how, when it's over, to make you want it all over again.

The problem with a lot of movies when it comes to race is that they want to be moral, and they want to make the audience feel good about something that a lot of people don't feel good about.

I definitely have a kind of Stockholm Syndrome for superhero movies because it's very clear that's the era we're in. It's like Christianity in the Middle Ages.

I like Nora Ephron. She wasn't a critic in the strictest sense of the word, but she did a lot of social criticism. She was so funny and so in the right place at the right time.

Sidney Poitier became a star in part by helping black and white Americans negotiate their new relationship in the post-Civil Rights era.

Sidney Lumet's chief preoccupation wasn't art. It was right and wrong in the American city, nearly always in New York.

In the Mac vs. PC ads, Apple bills itself as the antidote to Microsoft. To love Apple wasn't to sell out. It was to buy in. Most people use PCs, but Apple has the mindshare.

I love to go to the movies with people, but a lot of the time it's me in a room with a bunch of other movie critics, which is fine.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.

To have a desire means to have dependency.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born

I've got better things to do than read rubbish about myself.

All things do help the unhappy man to fall.

There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals. I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat.

If there's no Scripture in the worship set, then it's not really a worship set.

Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity; it is a state of being, a profound emotional balance struck by a subtle understanding of how the mind functions.

Don't dream of winning, train for it.
