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.

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 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.

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.

As Christians, we have only one authority, one compass: the Word of God.

It's not knowing how to write that makes you interesting, it's what you write.

The fact that women are the primary care-givers is a problem for women and men

It would be Spiderman. I'd love to be Peter Parker.

Life is always surprising to me. When you think it's going to get dull, it never really does.

I've never been a classic Gaulist! Not a Gaulist at all.

Some folks mistakes all they see for all there is.

There isn't a specific person in my mind that I'd want to play. Yet.

It's always funny to me how your movie becomes no longer yours and people interpret it how they want and react how they want to react to it, and it's fun to kind of watch that happen.

For every sad thing you think of, you should think of three happy things to chase it away.
