More quotes by Roger Ebert
The film argues to the young that the old were young once, too, and contain within them all that the young know, and more.
Roger Ebert
Horror fans are a particular breed. They analyze films with such detail and expertise that I am reminded of the Canadian literary critic Northrup Frye, who approached literature with similar archetypal analysis.
Roger Ebert
Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.
Roger Ebert
Catholic theology accounts for the fact that there's evil in the world. People say, well, how could God let this happen. Well, what God did was set the mechanism in motion and then allow people to do the best they can under the circumstances that they're dealt in order to gain grace and get into heaven.
Roger Ebert
The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
Roger Ebert
If a movie is really working, you forget for two hours your Social Security number and where your car is parked. You are having a vicarious experience. You are identifying, in one way or another, with the people on the screen.
Roger Ebert
The Academy is paranoid about its image.
Roger Ebert
Many thrillers follow such reliable formulas that you can look at what's happening and guess how much longer a film has to run.
Roger Ebert
Why is it that English, drama and music teachers are most often recalled as our mentors and inspirations? Maybe because artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.
Roger Ebert
We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.
Roger Ebert
I wear a pedometer, a little device that counts every step. It works as a goad, because you walk additional distances to pile up the numbers. The average person walks 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. I walk 10,000 steps a day. I have lost a lot of weight as a result.
Roger Ebert
Blockbusters run the mainstream industry. We may never again have a decade like the 1970s, when directors were able to find such freedom.
Roger Ebert
It's not often a thriller keeps me wound up as well as 'Headhunters' did. I knew I was being manipulated and didn't care. It was a pleasure to see how well it was being done.
Roger Ebert
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
Roger Ebert
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip.
Roger Ebert
In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.
Roger Ebert
They're not trying to prevent Hollywood from making movies. They're asking that the most powerful image-building machinery in the world stop grinding out killer dykes and twisted homo sex fiends as if sexual orientation had anything to do with criminal behavior.
Roger Ebert
There's nothing like impending death to rouse you from existential boredom.
Roger Ebert
When a girl says she likes you as a friend, what she means is: Rather than have sex with you, I would prefer to lose you as a friend.
Roger Ebert
It is reckless to make broad generalizations about any group of people.
