Every lecture should state one main point and repeat it over and over, like a theme with variations. An audience is like a herd of cows, moving slowly in the direction they are being driven towards. If we make one point, we have a good chance that the audience will take the right direction; if we make several points, then the cows will scatter all over the field. The audience will lose interest and everyone will go back to the thoughts they interrupted in order to come to our lecture.

I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.

A Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents.

A whale ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.

There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking.

Why don't we teach our children in school what they are? We should say to them, 'You are unique... you have the capacity for anything. You are a marvel'.
