More quotes by Roger Ebert
Cinema, for me, has always been something like music composed with photographic images.
Roger Ebert
Many really good films allow us to empathize with other lives.
Roger Ebert
If you have to ask what it symbolizes, it didn't.
Roger Ebert
Only enormously talented people could have made Death to Smoochy . Those with lesser gifts would have lacked the nerve to make a film so bad, so miscalculated, so lacking any connection with any possible audience.
Roger Ebert
We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.
Roger Ebert
Sometimes you only need to have a few words with a person to know you would like to have many more.
Roger Ebert
A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.
Roger Ebert
You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can't take your eyes away from it... Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane.
Roger Ebert
Who was the real Hitchcock? I interviewed him once and haven't a clue.
Roger Ebert
Last year, I reviewed a nine-hour documentary about the lives of Mongolian yak herdsmen, and I would rather see it again than sit through The Frighteners.

Roger Ebert
We are the playthings of the gods.
Roger Ebert
All I require of a religion is that it be tolerant of those who do not agree with it.
Roger Ebert
Nothing ever seems straightforward in Venice, least of all its romances.
Roger Ebert
Artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.
Roger Ebert
While I am usually in despair when a movie abandons its plot for a third act given over entirely to action, I have no problem with the way Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ends, because it has been pointing toward this ending, hinting about it, preparing us for it, all the way through. What a glorious movie.
Roger Ebert
I am not a believer, not an atheist, not an agnostic. I am still awake at night, asking how? I am more content with the question than I would be with an answer.
Roger Ebert
If you pay attention to the movies they will tell you what people desire and fear. Movies are hardly ever about what they seem to be about. Look at a movie that a lot of people love, and you will find something profound, no matter how silly the film may be.
Roger Ebert
The fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday. And we've had a concerted policy of taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich wholesale, and at the same time, we have the runaway corporations, and the greed.
Roger Ebert
I think we have to get beyond the idea that we have to categorize people.
