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.

My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.

James Cameron's films have always been distinguished by ground-breaking technical excellence.

Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people.

Praise without merit is more harmful than unearned criticism.

On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.

Clouds do not really look like camels or sailing ships or castles in the sky. They are simply a natural process at work. So too, perhaps, are our lives.

What happens in a fantasy can be more involving than what happens in life, and thank goodness for that.

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
