A politician without money for advertising is out of luck. They are not taken seriously.

If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. It really is public brainwashing and misinformation.

Many of us had this idea of doing independent film, of making personal, relevant films, as opposed to Hollywood fluff. I directed a few.

The problem for independent filmmakers is that huge companies control all the promotion, all the advertising. Hollywood films' advertising budgets are as large as their shooting budgets.

The problem of media/politics is multifold. Many things are out of whack.

Be careful not to appear obsessively intellectual. When intelligence fills up, it overflows a parody.

We all go through our entire lives not knowing. Wondering. Trying.Untile we sleep.

Best to have only a few absolutely perfect trait - for example, my hair and eyes and sparkling personality - so you don't overwhelm.

But I'll always love you, and I'll always miss you and I'll never forget that It's okay to put dragons in the jungle and tears on a tiger
