"Nor do piecemeal steps however well intended, even partially resolve problems that have reached a universal, global and catastrophic character.

They thereby deflect public attention and theoretical insight from an adequate understanding of the depth and scope of the necessary changes."

-- Murray Bookchin

Some people come out of the movie and think, 'That's the saddest thing I've ever seen,' and others come out and think, 'God, there's optimism.'”
“In junior high I read a lot of Stephen King, whose Americana approach to writing was often about "the terror next door" and at the same time I was reading a lot of Clive Barker, who was on the other end of the horror pendulum: insidious and disturbingly psychological. I found it fascinating how these two authors came at horror from two totally different perspectives.”
“If you want to make something happen, you can make it happen. There's always a way if it's what you want.”
“I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.”
