“I opened myself to you only to be skinned alive. The more vulnerable I became, the faster and more deft your knife. Knowing what was happening, still I stayed and let you carve more. That's how much I loved you. That's how much.”

“Feminism â€¦ I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, 'Free to be You and Me.' Free to be, if you were a girlâ€”doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Anything you want to be. And if youâ€™re a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, thatâ€™s OK too. That notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriersâ€”manmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent.”

“Whenever I go to shows, I end up looking at what shoes the guy onstage is wearing and the jacket he's got on. And when you know everything's gonna be under scrutiny, it makes you feel more comfortable if you have cool stuff.”
“It's too hard to make a movie if you don't care about what happens to it, or even what the product is. I can't even imagine that. It's not worth the time and effort if you don't care about the product.”
“In a few years, men will be able to communicate more effectively through a machine than face to face. That is a rather startling thing to say, but it is our conclusion... And we believe that we are entering a technological age in which we will be able to interact with the richness of living information--not merely in the passive way that we have become accustomed to using books and libraries, but as active participants in an ongoing process, bringing something to it through our interaction with it, and not simply receiving something from it by our connection to it.”

“If you ever have to make a choice between learning and inspiration, choose learning. It works most of the time.”
“To live in the past is to die in the present.”
