America is the only country capable of producing national movies: its culture has become a global culture.

The art of motion pictures is pictorial and language comes a distant second.

When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.

The world distribution of French movies is a laughing matter. That is a fact.

Today's cinema is a global art form, it is impossible to make movies for a market the size of France, representing no more than 4% of the world's total.

You may call for peace as loudly as you wish, but where there is no brotherhood there can in the end be no peace.

How will you find good? It is not a thing of choice; it is a river that flows from the foot of the Invisible Throne and flows by the path of obedience.

Because of their excessive commitment to a literal Bible, fundamentalist Christians have fallen into the trap of biblioltry.

I'm not a poet. I wish I was a poet but I'm not. I'm a playwright. And so I have a different set of antecedents.

Whats the difference between male and female passion? If love is a drug, what are its side effects? Rhye makes chill-out music, but it never quite lets your mind switch off.
