A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.
Roger Ebert
Image
Why are some people bullied? Because they are different. How? It doesn't matter.
Roger Ebert
Image
I've never found kicks to the groin particularly funny, although recent work in the genre of the buddy movie suggests audience research must prove me wrong.
Roger Ebert
Image
There's something depressing about a young couple helplessly in love. Their state is so perfect, it must be doomed. They project such qualities on their lover that only disappointment can follow.
Roger Ebert
Image
I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.

Never marry anyone you could not sit next to during a three-day bus trip.

Image
Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people.
Roger Ebert
Image
And I think both the left and the right should celebrate people who have different opinions, and disagree with them, and argue with them, and differ with them, but don't just try to shut them up.
Roger Ebert

All good art is about something deeper than it admits.

Image
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.

Steve Coogan picks up enough to lecture an interviewer: This is a postmodern novel before there was any modernism to be post about. Later it's claimed that Tristram Shandy was No. 8 on the Observer's list of the greatest novels, which cheers everyone until they discover the list was chronological.

It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius.

Image
There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.

Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.

Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' is a magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers.
Roger Ebert
Image
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.

Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.
Roger Ebert
Image
There are two things you can't argue in film: comedy and eroticism. If something doesn't make you laugh, no one can tell you why it's funny, and it's difficult to reason someone out of an erection.

A film is a terrible thing to waste.
