God wears white flannels.
Tread softly upon the earth because the faces of the unborn look up at you.
I'm certainly not a fan of conversion when you could shoot the movie in 3-D.
I don't just want to be associated with a few good 3D movies and the audience is saying all of the other ones are crap.
I think "Avatar" is kind of a unique category where people are enjoying the unique theatrical experience even though they may have seen it on the small screen. They want to have that immersive, transportive experience. "2001: A Space Odyssey" played for three years at the Loews cinema in Toronto. I remember that. It just kept playing. People wanted to return to that experience. That may not be the best example because I think "2001" took 25 years to break even.
Usually, when you go to a movie, your consciousness floats above the film. 3D sucks you in and makes it a visceral experience.
This is a vast frontier that's going to take us awhile to understand. It was very lunar, desolated, isolated.
I am king of the world!
When you have the feeling that anything’s possible, sometimes you wind up acting on it.
I like the evening in India, the one magic moment when the sun balances on the rim of the world, and the hush descends, and ten thousand civil servants drift homeward on a river of bicycles, brooding on the Lord Krishna and the cost of living.
It was long ago in my life as a simple reporter that I decided that facts must never get in the way of truth.
Avatar is the most high tech film in terms of its execution, dealing with essentially a very low tech subject; which is our relationship with nature...and in fact the irony is that the film is about our relationship with nature and how our technological civilization has taken us several removes away from a truly natural existence and the consequences of that to us.
I've sworn off agnosticism, which I now call cowardly atheism. I've come to the position that in the complete absence of any supporting data whatsover for the persistence of the individual in some spiritual form, it is necessary to operate under the provisional conclusion that there is no afterlife and then be ready to amend that if I find out otherwise.
I love short trips to New York; to me it is the finest three-day town on earth.
