Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.
Orson Welles
See, I believe that it is not true that different races and nations are alike. I'm profoundly convinced that that's a total lie. I think people are different. Sardinians, for example, have stubby little fingers. Bosnians have short necks.
Orson Welles
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
