• Look what thy soul holds dear, imagine it
  To lie that way thou goest, not whence thou com'st.
  Suppose the singing birds musicians,
  The grass whereon thou tread'st the presence strewed,
  The flowers fair ladies, and thy steps no more
  Than a delight measure or a dance;
  For gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite
  The man that mocks at it and sets it light.

  William Shakespeare

  6 Copy quote

• Network news accustoms audiences to assertion not argument. Over time, it reinforces the notion that politics is about visceral identification and apposition, not complex problems and their solutions. ... sound bites aren't very helpful. They can tell a voter what a candidate believes, but not why. And many issues are too complex to be freeze dried into a slogan and a smile. ... What's lost in a world in which everything's an ad? Perhaps the country that created the assembly line has simply found a more efficient way to do politics.

• When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody's face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home.

• We're more familiar with what economists call an English auction - prices start low and rise as people bid.

Movies are sold to the audience via a very slow Dutch auction, where each phase between price drops can last weeks or months.
