Quotes about:

• Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives.

• Movies become living organisms that graduate from a filmmaker's sphere of influence and pretty much look back and tell you how they need to be said goodbye to. A movie often turns around and looks at you and says, "Here is who I am, and that's maybe now how you see me, but that's who I've become." And you've got to be open enough to go with that.

  Steven Spielberg

  Goodbye, Who I Am, Spheres
