As far as I'm concerned, 'whom' is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler.

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
