Quote

One of the weapons Marvel used in its climb to comic-book dominance was a willingness to invent new characters at a dizzying speed. There are so many Marvel universes, indeed, that some superheroes do not even exist in one another's worlds, preventing gridlock.

We must try to contribute joy to the world.

It is reckless to make broad generalizations about any group of people.

I think most people are more susceptible to prejudice than to reason. And the parrots of talk radio are just sending out the same stuff. When I look at my e-mails, I see the same Limbaugh rhetoric apparently, people don't have any ideas of their own. And there's just this drumroll of anti-progressive thought.

Here's a notion: Peace in the Middle East would come about more easily if the region were governed by women.

There are often lists of the great living male movie stars. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air.

The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there?

I begin to feel like I was in the last generation of Americans who took a civics class. I begin to feel like most Americans don't understand the First Amendment, don't understand the idea of freedom of speech, and don't understand that it's the responsibility of the citizen to speak out.

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.

In Hollywood, 'under development' means 'all I have is the title.'

What I believe is that all clear-minded people should remain two things throughout their lifetimes: Curious and teachable.

When I had been a film critic for ten minutes, I treated Doris Day as a target for cheap shots. I have learned enough to say today that the woman was remarkably gifted.

All good art is about something deeper than it admits.

But considering that I walked in expecting no complexity at all, let alone the visual wonderments, Snow White and the Huntsman is a considerable experience.

I have always had my doubts about any form of divine intervention in sports contests. The power of prayer may be remarkable in many other arenas, but why should God want my team to win instead of the other side? Isn't it insulting to request God to even take an interest in baseball?

There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.

Someone once said the fundamental reason we get married is because have a universal human need for a witness.

In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.

Many really good films allow us to empathize with other lives.

That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.

We think of first love as sweet and valuable, a blessed if hazardous condition.
